"I am one of that almost extinct species who still expose black and white film in a manual camera to
process and print in my own darkroom. In the darkroom, I can sculpt with light, shaping my perceptions
and visions. My images are not so much representations of what my eyes saw, but what my mind saw, and
it is this which I seek to share through my photographs." - Cali Gorevic

March - April 2008: Showing works by Russian artist Oleg Zhivetin.
Helen Jones Gallery, 2615 El Paseo Lane.
Oleg Zhivetin was born on March 8, 1964 in Tashkent, Capitol of the Soviet
Republic of Uzbekistan, to a family of Russian painters. He started to paint
at a very early age under the supervision of his father's severe and
demanding eye. When he was nine years old he began an art program
where he learned to work with watercolors.
Zhivetin has worked on extraordinarily complex paintings with the universal
theme of love in his recognizable fractured color style. Numerous layers of
paint achieve the richness and vitality of colors in his artwork. The
sensuous lines and intricate patterns of the paintings are enhanced with the
application of gold, silver or copper leaf. Oleg has perfected his
fragmented imagery technique and his work elicits remarkably positive
responses from his collectors.
Oleg has made his home in both California and Russia over the years.
