Gessography

Oleh Denysenko as a devoted etcher has long been captivated by the idea of making an innovation in art; rejuvenating and reanimating printmaking, giving it special expression through color, volume, and spiritual depth of Byzantine icons. Oleh Denysenko was always fascinated with the age of Renaissance and its most prominent figure, Leonardo da Vinci. Taking the famous Renaissance man as his role model, Oleh Denysenko widened the scope of his work by exploring the possibilities of a number of different genres and techniques. By then Oleh Denysenko’s son, Alexander Denysenko, a film director and visionary, had been for quite some time a curious observer of his father’s experiments with various art techniques and their permutation. He realized that Oleh Denysenko’s strong foundation in intaglio, his experience in sculpture, and his search for originality in the treatment of levkas is precisely what constitutes the basis of his genuine artistic identity.

When after a decade of my creative search, Alexander and I, we started working in a strong tandem, then, after several years of joint efforts, we attained the result I envisaged long before. I felt that that was really what I had been searching for a long time.

— Oleh Denysenko.

We have to learn to make our own benefits and interests serve the common good. Social need have outrun the selfish ones. Today is the day when we find our creative Self by doing good to the society together.
