White hairy 1990

Oleg Holosiy made this very large painting, titled "White hairy", using oil on canvas. It's like diving into a dream, isn't it? The colors swirl and collide, creating a sense of movement and unease. I find myself drawn to the way Holosiy layers the paint, thick in some areas and almost translucent in others. This gives the piece a real sense of depth, as if you could reach into the canvas and touch the figures that emerge from the chaos. Take a look at the white, hairy figures – are they angels, demons, or something else entirely? Holosiy leaves it up to us to decide. There’s a touch of Francis Bacon’s distorted figures here, that same raw, visceral energy. Holosiy, like Bacon, isn’t afraid to confront the darker aspects of human experience. Ultimately, paintings like this remind us that art isn’t about easy answers, but about embracing the messy, complicated, and often contradictory nature of life itself.
