Bridge 1992

Oleg Holosiy painted this bridge in oil with no known date. The work presents a monochromatic scene dominated by earth tones that evokes a sense of nostalgia. The painting has a centrally positioned bridge over water, framed by blurred land features, creating a symmetrical yet dreamlike composition. The central oval shape breaks with expectations and acts as a window. It suggests structuralist interpretations, inviting us to decode its symbolic significance. The bridge, a traditional symbol of connection, is here questioned. Holosiy destabilizes the bridge by blurring the boundaries and categories of perception. Through these formal choices, the artwork challenges fixed meanings and engages with new ways of thinking about space and representation. Ultimately, the muted palette and softened forms in this painting invite us to reconsider the bridge as a structure and question the nature of connection itself.
