Viktor & Sergiy Kochetov, Vladyslav Krasnoshchok, Sergiy Lebedynskyy, Oleksandr Suprun

Alexandra de Viveiros gallery is privileged to present at Photo Basel 2023 Art Fair five artists belonging to the Kharkiv School of Photography, Ukraine and seeks to highlight their profoundly experimental approach to treating the medium.
Oleksandr Suprun, one of the founders of the movement of Kharkiv School, is known for his analogue collages created in 1974-1997. Addressing the topics typical for Soviet iconography, he subverted them by depicting often vulnerable elders and children photographed secretly on the streets. Rare original cut-outs shall demonstrate the laborious nature of his technique. 
Viktor and Sergiy Kochetov transgressed the reportage canon capturing uneventful scenes of daily life and accentuating them with deliberately naïve gesture of hand-colouring, the practice rooted in the local underground tradition called “luriki”.
Vladyslav Krasnoshchok and Sergiy Lebedynskyy (Shilo group) make ingenious use of photographic material that combines questioning the School’ heritage with the treatment of current subjects relating to their own experiences. Using anachronistic technique of homemade lith-print on expired paper, the artists revise the tradition of attentiveness to the materiality of the photography.
