"Eternal and short-lived, faith and cynicism, sanctity and sacrilege, soaring spirit and awful vulgarity–what a marvelous cocktail! Lifting the mundane to the heavens and plunging the heavens into a muddy puddle. This, basically, is what I do. "
Sasha Okun
Karnik Gallery hosts an intimate presentation of seven newest works and a selection of oil sketches by Sasha Okun, held at Secteur Privé.
Russian born, Sasha Okun is known for his dramatic and unapologetic depictions of the human form. Okun's paintings take aim at the dissonance of life such as the contrasts between good vs evil, beauty vs ugly, and reveal the humour vs seriousness that mankind encompasses daily.
