Vassily Kostiuchenko / Василий Костюченко
Vassily Kostiuchenko is one of the most promising Belarusian artists. His works were auctioned at Christie’s. He is one of a few modern Belarusian artists who mastered the fundamental property of color – energy. The active spots of red, green, yellow and white colors on his canvases pulsate and transmit emotional heat. In his paintings different objects and people keep in tune with corresponding art tonality. The color on his canvases either subsides and softens or, as if suddenly exploding, spills out and spreads out. Vassily Kostiuchenko’s poetic perception of the beauty of the surrounding world and his visualization through colors of deeply personal emotions and feelings makes the core essence of his works.
