Anatole Krasnyansky is a contemporary American-Ukrainian artist, best known for his watercolors and cityscapes. His work conflates themes of music, theater, architecture, and culture through colorful figurations set in non-Euclidean space. Born in 1920 in Kiev, Ukraine, Krasnyansky earned his master’s in architecture and fine art before emigrating from the Soviet Union in 1975 to pursue his career in Los Angeles, CA. Notably, Krasnyansky developed a unique process of textural watercolor painting, where his paper works reference Eastern culture and heritage through color relationships and architectural features. Exhibited here is serigraphic works on silk screen, each piece uniquely embellished.
