Exuberant 1947

Kateryna Bilokur's 'Exuberant' is an explosion of color, probably oil on canvas, that vibrates off the surface. It’s such a sensory overload! I imagine Bilokur totally immersed, layering those hues and textures, building this crazy garden through sheer will and intuition. I can almost feel the brushstrokes, the way she must have dabbed and swirled the paint to create that luminous, almost hallucinatory effect. I bet she lost herself in the process, letting the flowers bloom on the canvas with a life of their own. It makes me think of Hilma af Klint’s floral-esque abstractions, both channeling some kind of wild energy. There’s a boldness to her approach, this refusal to hold back. It’s a reminder that painting isn't just about representation; it's about feeling, energy, and letting the unexpected take root.
