Alexander Oligerov
the Russian Painter, Novgorod
Herewith I present you some examples from the collection of my new painting.
Each of them has got its own images which are brightly expressed and its own philosophic idea. Color, line and spot work for it in a laconic and exact manner. In general, the pictorial part of these paintings is built on my principal position, that an idea is an idea, but nobody can abolish beauty.
"The burned down manuscript"
2004 year, oil on canvas, 80 x 85 cm.
Alexander Oligerov represents his new Art-project "The dedication to unwritten verses":
It often happens that ingenious poems which we could have written are crossed out by life, but history would not permit subjunctive mood. In this project the author is trying to lift the veil of might-have-been events. Uncreated images and crossed out scraps of unwritten poems are sweeping past him like shadows. The artist, like an archaeologist, is trying to remove the topcoat of daily occurrence under which our dreams are buried. Take a good look at these paintings and you will hear the soft music of the might-have-been world.

Here is my another project “Wings”
I paint the wing on each my new oil-canvas, but it is not a real wing of the bird or the butterfly. Every wing-painting has got its pair, but not a symmetric copy. It is quite an independent work different in color and in composition. Nevertheless it forms the relative pair for the first wing. By Presenting and selling of my “Wings” in different cites and countries I wish to acquaint the persons who has bought the wings from one and the same pair. And it proves that their souls either the relative ones or similar much.
And it means that above all the conventional borders and barriers there is an invisible but strong thread. This thread goes from the concrete person with one end and, thanks to anonymous, comes into the huge field of human culture with another end.
I hope in these strange and conflicting days my idea and the painting-wing as well bring warmness in the soul of every person. The wing is the thing our flight, the flight of our soul does not exist. So, fly up over vanity!

2001, oil on canvas, 80 x 85 cm.

"Ikarus", oil on canvas, 100 x 110 sm, 2008
Many art critics and art lovers look through
the albums, visit the exhibitions trying to
understand the artist's world, to come into it,
to travel in it discovering the secret places
nobody knows yet. Everybody knows that
this parallel for reality world is huge and the
painting or the fresco is just a little opened
window into that world.
At first sight the paintings of my project
belong to the abstract art.
But for the people who stops and watches
carefully at them I open the window into
that world wide with broad gesture giving an
opportunity to see our world like the birds see
it from the height of their flight. Yes, suddenly
my paintings become the topographical maps
or photos of fantastic beautiful and enormous
in colour or in relief landscapes from the
height of five-seven thousand meters. I offer
You not only to travel but also to settle that
world not with cars and plants, but with Your
feelings, fantasies and mood.
You would like to live in, give it Your name
or the name of the person You love.
Soon You manage to give the names for all
the bays, the mountains and the rivers on
Your map. You come into flora and fauna of
that new world and then we realise that the
settling is succeeded well.

Alexander Oligerov's oil-painting project «Asia from my childhood»
This collection of painting is created according to nostalgia memoirs and feeling of my childhood.
It is touched with atmosphere and culture of east, with reflection of ancient civilizations.
In my childish consciousness these feeling are kept as great and magic tales,
which can in any moment become a reality and change my life. To be truth,
this is a thousand and one more night of my far childhood.
