Kyiv-based artist Alexey Kondakov uses surrealistic documentary photography to superimpose figures from classical artwork into everyday scenes of modern life. He is renowned for his Photoshopped collage series in which Kyiv, Ukraine served as the backdrop for characters from old world masterpieces. The artist merges the past and the present, showing with a deft eye how classical figures fit seamlessly into contemporary situations that, in themselves, are timeless.

This drawing is of interest to all visitors of Cultural Space Kobzar. Now we are examining the signature and trying to find the name of the artist who drew it. If you know this signature of the Ukrainian artist who painted this drawing in 1971, please tell me the name of this artist. I will be very grateful for your help.

This is Fedir Krychevsky. I was browsing his WikiArt page, as one does. Initially drawn in by the delicate mood of the Edwardian self portrait above, I was surprised to find how much I liked his paintings of women. The colors, the directness of her expression, the light on her face and in her eyes:

The way these women gather around the central figure, giving her a close, warm background of support while she shines clear:

The way the youngest and the middle aged look ahead, while the oldest looks off at something beyond or behind:

How she is posed in classic profile, but her wreath is extravagant, not restrained, Bacchanalian or fae:

And then I was charmed again by this second self portrait, shy in expression yet bold in pose, with a very good coat.

“A decisive step on mastering atmospheric effects was taken by Kiriak Kostandi, representative of the Society of South-Russian Artists founded by Odesa painters in 1890. He abandoned the monochrome colour gamut of the Peredvizhniki in favour of the bright painterly idiom in which the sunlight with its rich colour reflexes became the determinative factor.”
