Presence 1989

"Presence," painted in 1989 by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993), is a striking abstract work characterized by bold strokes and a limited palette. The artwork features three dominant figures, their forms defined by contrasting shades of black, grey, and white, suggestive of a dynamic interplay between presence and absence. The figures are depicted in a semi-abstract style, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue, leaving the viewer to interpret the narrative. The use of dripping paint adds texture and depth to the composition, reflecting Holosiy's signature style and the artist's short-lived but impactful career.
