Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artist

Alexandr Onishenko, Шаблон:Lang-cs is an artist based in Prague, Czech Republic. Well known for his vibrant impressionist paintings, his work is exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

Life and career

Alexandr Onishenko was born in 1957 in Chernihiv (also referred to as Chernigov, Ukrainian) the capital of the Ukrainian province of Chernihiv Oblast. His artistic studies were encouraged and supported from an early age by his father. In 1979, he graduated from the Institute of Art in Kyiv and became a member of the Russian Art Union.

State regulation of the arts under the Soviet Union encouraged Onishenko and many other young artists to rebel and form an illegal artists’ collective, which was housed in the Yeletsky Monastery.

In 1981, Onishenko and several companions moved to the Tevriz district of the Omsk Provence in Siberia. After six years of “self-exile”, he returned to the Ukraine in 1987. Fleeing the increasing political turmoil in the years just before the fall of the Soviet Union, Onishenko moved to Yugoslavia briefly before settling in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1991.

After years of painting on the famous Charles Bridge, Onishenko met with such success that he opened his own gallery in 1994 (Galerie Jakubska) in Prague’s Old Town.

Onishenko presently resides in Prague and has become one the city's most accomplished artists receiving both the Franz Kafka Prize and the Masaryk Academy of Sciences Award.

The artist Alexander Onischenko has had the good fortune to acquire prestigious and spacious premises in the very heart of magical Malá Strana, in the former Hartigovský Palace (also known as the Věžníkovský, Salmovský or Šelmberkovský Palace). A medieval burgher house originally stood on this site, which was rebuilt in the late Gothic style between 1485 and 1495 and then in the Renaissance style sometime before 1580. After 1670, Isabela Švihovská of Salm had a palace built here, to which a garden was later attached. In 1718, Romedius Věžník z Věžník (1696–1720) briefly took ownership of the Romedius Palace, and after 1720, when Ludvik Josef Hartig (1685–1735) acquired the property, the palace was remodelled in its current form - probably based on a design by F. I. Prée or F. M. Kaňka. The palace also incorporates the building next door, no. 183/18, a late Gothic structure, renovated in the Renaissance style at the beginning of the 17th century. The early Baroque reconstruction of the building took place before 1668 with further work during the period from 1680 to 1696. Between 1896 and 1907, Charles University Professor Tomáš Masaryk, later President of Czechoslovakia, lived at this address. From 1920 to 1921 the building was rebuilt as the German embassy, to a design by the German architect Adolf Foehr. It is likely that the Fuhrer of the German Reich, Adolf Hitler, dined and maybe even spent the night here on March 15, 1939, during the occupation of Czechoslovakia. At the end of World War II, it became the headquarters of the Czechoslovak Red Cross. After 1990, as part of the national restitution process, both palace buildings were restored to private ownership. This historic building with its rich history now houses the painter Alexander Onishenko’s art salon, "Galerie Jakubská". The genius loci of the palace will be further enhanced by his present and future works.

Artwork

The signatures style of Alexandr Onishenko's Impressionism work includes exclusive use of the palette knife and painting on black canvases. The artist's description of his own work as "New Impressionism" is not to be confused with the pointillism of Neo-Impressionism. Its own distinction lies in the use of a traditional impasto painting technique wherein paint is applied in heavy, textured quantity and sometimes even mixed directly on the surface of the canvas, while at the same time Onishenko departs dramatically from traditional Impressionism by beginning on a pitch-black surface. This reversal of the painting process – moving from darkness to light – brings with it the high level of contrast and vibrancy of color that the artist's paintings are known for.

Alexandr Onishenko portrays a wide variety of subjects in his work. Still Lives, nudes, land and cityscapes are all well represented in his portfolio, but over the years one of his most famous motifs has remained his bird's-eye perspective paintings of the rooftops of Prague. He is very well traveled and continues to be inspired in his work even years after visiting a new location.
