Gankevych Anatoliy
The artwork is bound to the artist’s feelings for his home country, Ukraine, which have become nostalgic-mystical, and the vision of the world of tomorrow. The contemplation gave birth to the image of the heavenly cosmic garden of the universe, where all the stars are born and die, and revealed that only miracles make sense. Best known for his technique of imitating a mosaic on canvas, the artist bases his work on observation, creating an atmosphere, combining different plans and attention to detail.
Anatoliy Gankevych is one of the leading representatives of contemporary art in Ukraine. He works in a unique technique – imitation mosaic. Showing what does not really exist, replacing the agony of reality, the artist as a magician manipulates the viewer. And this manipulation is designed to evoke the emotion of happiness.
He was born in Odessa on August 24, 1965. He started his heinous activity in 1990. He collaborated with the Marat Gelman Gallery. From 1995 to 2005 he was actively involved in directing commercials. Since 2006 he has focused on his art projects.
