Alexander Pogrebinsky http://www.pogrebinsky.com Mediums - oil painting, watercolor, ink Artist's Statement -Pogrebinsky's professional career has spanned four decades, begining with his first works in the Kiev Institute of Art, where he studied under Shatalin in the school of realism. His originality is seen through the philosophical use of his brush, as the Santa Barbara Scene described his work: "Pogrebinsky's paintings present floral subjects in an ethereal, half-dematerialized state. His is a beguiling, mystical approach, which could be translated as a philosophical question as much as a statement of the beauty at hand. One could say that this duality has marked art from the Ukraine and the general Russian region since the pre-Bolshevik days of Kandinsky and the Constructivists. It continued to exist in art from the region, albeit under censor's wraps, for decades. To catch glimpses of the same spirit offers a dose of inspiration that transcends art appreciation." - Joseph Woodward "Scene", Santa-Barbara News-Press, Friday, September 7, 2001 Gallery Affiliations - Alexander's work can be found in Ukrainian and Russian musuems.
