About the Item

"Scissors" Photography 23" x 32" inch Edition of 10 by Oleg Char Medium: Hahnemühle Baryta Paper Not framed. Ships in a tube. Other sizes available: Edition of 5: 28.8" x 40" inch Edition of 20: 14.4" x 20" inch “This Is Not a Sign” series was born during the 2020 COVID quarantine; at a time when almost all public places around the world were closed, people were inside, and the only way to move about town was by car. Fascinated by night photography—specifically how light becomes the main subject — Oleg found himself at a stoplight one evening when he noticed the flickering sign of a liquor store. The light sparked an idea. A creative journey began. From then on he began driving around the city at night photographing the neon signs and logos of iconic places, as well as random signs that popped up along the way like beacons in the night. The light flickers were yearning for attention with no avail, no audience... until now. By capturing photographs of neon signs around the world Oleg hopes to preserve the memories of the iconic, and at times obscure, places while sharing the beauty and unique stories with those who have yet to see their wonder in real life. The name of the series was inspired by a famous 1929 painting by Rene Magritte “The Treachery of Images” aka “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” which translates to “This Is Not a Pipe”. THE ARTIST: Unearth the essence of contemporary art with Oleg Char – artist, award-winning designer & published photographer, creating masterpieces between the vibrant landscapes of LA & tranquil Bali. His creative journey is inscribed in each art piece & carries a heart-touching message of self-discovery & inspiration. Oleg’s artistry fuses photography, neon, and painting, blending them into a unique spiritual language that invites you to observe the remarkable dialogue between object and subject, capturing the soul in each frame. In every piece of Oleg's work, there’s an open invitation. An invitation to venture beyond the surface, and explore the connection between the tangible world and the abstract interior of the self. It’s a call to reflect on our human essence and to question our place in the universe. Be swept away by Oleg’s artistic expressions that serve as a mirror, reflecting our innate richness and beauty. His art is a spiritual exploration, a dance between the palpable and the elusive, the concrete and the abstract. Venture with Oleg Char, unravel the mysteries within and awaken to your own magnificence. Your journey starts here.
