Vladyslav Krasnoshchok
Born in 1980, Kharkiv, Ukraine
FR Après avoir étudié la médecine, Vladyslav Krasnoshchok pratique activement la photographie à partir de l’année 2008. Membre du groupe Shilo depuis 2010 (aux côtés de Sergiy Lebedynskyy, Vadim Trykoz et Oleksiy Sobolev), Vladyslav a un style reconnaissable qui relève de la photographie documentaire monochrome : ses images sont transformées à l'aide de différentes manipulations techniques. Ces manipulations aboutissent à l'effet anachronique d’une surface vague et grainée, qui forment comme un « écran » amplifiant le sentiment de la contemporanéité. L’artiste souhaite montrer la dureté de la vie quotidienne en prenant la position d'une personne intérieure au sujet, comme dans sa série de photos Bolnichka, prise aux urgences de l’hôpital de Kharkiv, où Vladyslav Krasnoshchok a travaillé pendant 10 ans. Dans son œuvre, l’artiste utilise également la coloration à la main, notamment en ce qui concerne des archives anonymes de photographies d'époque trouvées sur les marchés aux puces. Les méthodes d'appropriation et de coloration à la main ont été développées dans la photographie de Kharkiv à la fin des années 1970, manifestant la continuité des traditions esthétiques locales. En élargissant les champs de la photographie, l'auteur associe ses clichés à des objets sculpturaux et expérimente l'art graphique, la gravure et le street art.
EN After studying in Kharkiv Medical University in 1997-2002, Vladyslav Krasnoshchok has been actively practicing photography since 2008. He is a participant of the Shilo group since 2010 (together with Sergiy Lebedynskyy, Vadim Trykozand, Oleksiy Sobolev). The artist has a recognizable style of monochrome documentary shots: they are aesthetically transformed using different technical manipulations. Those manipulations result in the anachronistic effect of vague grained surface and form a "screen" that amplifies the experience of contemporaneity. The author is interested in showing the harshness of daily life, choosing the insider’s position, as in the Bolnichka series of shots taken at Kharkivs tate clinical hospital of emergency aid, where Vladyslav has been working for 10 years. In his projects, Vladyslav Krasnoshchok also uses hand-colouring, including tinting anonymous archives of vintage photographs found on Kharkiv flea market. Both methods of appropriation and hand-colouringevolved in Kharkiv photography in the late 1970s, demonstrating the continuity of traditions in the local community. Broadening the fields of photography, the author combines his shots with sculptural objects, and experiments with graphic art, engraving and street art.
