Sergii Shkoliar
Ukrainian artist
He was born in 1975 in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine.
Began artistic activity in the mid-2000s. Tends to absurd plot compositions, grotesque images. Works in the technique of painting, graphics, levkas and small plastics.
He devoted his first exhibition to games of different times and countries, where he tried to tell their story, plotting the theme with various techniques.
Continuing to research game models, he became interested in their unpredictability and came to absurdism. In 2016, he took part in the first All-Ukrainian art project "Such.ukr. Surrealism".
In 2017, he started the joint project "UniSON". In 2019-20, it was shown in several galleries in Ukraine. The project showed the father and son's way of learning and learning about the world - in which healthy humor and ease play the main role.
In 2023, showed the ISOMORPHISM project, which he devoted to painting and his animation. His animation is a continuation of his painting and graphic works. This greatly expanded the possibilities of reproducing everything that remained outside the boundaries of the canvas or paper
