Oleksandr Suprun
Born in 1945, Berezivka, Kharkiv region, Ukraine
ENG. Oleksandr Suprun belongs to the first generation of the Kharkiv school of Photography. From 1962-1968 he studied at the Kharkiv Polytechnic School. In the mid-1960s, he became interested in photography and enrolled at the regional photo club in 1967. Suprun was a member of the famous Vremia (Time) group together with Boris Mikhailov, Juri Rupin and Evgeniy Pavlov. His first solo exhibition was organized in 1973, after which the author participated in numerous contests and salons of the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP). He was awarded the distinction “Excellence FIAP” (EFIAP) in 1996.
During the first decade of his activity, Suprun concentrated mainly on straight documentary photography, in 1975 he became interested in the collage, which gradually replaced ‘pure’ shots. Those years collage was a laborious manual technique of cutting out and mounting of fragments. The personages were mostly elderly people and children, very vulnerable social groups, often placed against a sinister-looking urban background with dramatic high-contrast skies. As taking pictures of people in the street of the Soviet Union could lead to the accusation of spying, the author used a camera hidden in a shopping bag and operated by an ingenious device.
Since 1981, Suprun works as a professor at the Kharkiv Art and Industry University.
Photographs of Suprun belong to important public collections such as the collection of Centre Pompidou, Paris, France and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA. They participated in exhibitions in Hangar Photo Center, Brussels, Belgium; Kunstmuseum, Wolfsburg, Germany; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv, Ukraine and were presented at Photo London 2022, Photo Basel 2023 and Paris Photo 2023 et 2025 art fairs.
Recently Beaux Art Magazine, Le Quotidien de l’Art, Aperture and Monde Diplomatique published his works.
Suprun is one of the three nominees for the Viviane Esders Prize 2025. The artist is in the spotlight for being participated in the documentary Kharkiv, capital of the rebel photography commissioned by ARTE (France - Germany) in 2024.
FR. Oleksandr Suprun appartient à la première génération de l'Ecole de photographie de Kharkiv. Entre 1962-1968, il étudie à l’Ecole polytechnique de Kharkiv. Au milieu des années 1960, il commence à s'intéresser à la photographie et rejoint le photoclub régional. Suprun est membre du célèbre groupe Vremia (Temps) au même titre que Boris Mikhailov et Evgeniy Pavlov. Depuis sa première exposition personnelle, organisée en 1973, Suprun a participé à de nombreux festivals et salons de la Fédération internationale de l'art photographique (FIAP), dont il recevra la distinction "Excellence FIAP" (EFIAP) en 1996.
Au cours de la première décennie de son activité, Suprun se concentre principalement sur la photographie documentaire. À partir de 1975, l’artiste commence à s'intéresser à la technique du collage, qui remplace progressivement les prises de vue "directes". A cette période, le collage est une technique manuelle extrêmement laborieuse, qui consiste à découper et monter successivement de multiples fragments. Suprun photographie souvent des personnes âgées et des enfants qu’il présente sur un arrière-plan urbain dramatique. Photographier des personnes dans les rues à l’Union soviétique pouvait conduire l'auteur à être accusé d’espionnage. Suprun se servait alors d’un appareil photo caché dans un sac, qu’il actionnait à l’aide d’un dispositif discret et ingénieux.
Depuis 1981, Suprun est professeur à l’Ecole d'art et d'industrie de Kharkiv.
Les œuvres de Suprun font partie d’importantes collections institutionnelles, dont celle du Centre Pompidou, Paris (France) et de Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (USA). Elles ont été exposées à la Communal Galerie, Berlin (Allemagne) ; au Kunstmuseum, Wolfsburg, (Allemagne) ; au Centre Pompidou, Paris (France) ; au PinchukArtCentre, Kiev (Ukraine) ; à Noorderlicht Photography Foundation, Groningen (Pays Bas).

Oleksandr Suprun fait partie des finalistes du Prix Viviane Esders 2025.
Récemment, Le Quotidien de l’art, Beaux Arts Magasine, Monde Diplomatique et Aperture ont publié ses photographies.
