In Soviet times there was only one "correct" direction in art - socialist realism, which was characterized by the huge role of ideology in its development. The work of artists in other directions (e.g. avant-gardism, impressionism) was actively persecuted by the Soviet authorities as a deviation from the "correct" views. And yet, artists managed to find an outlet for their own creative expression of will. Thus, in the works of Turanskyi Aleksandr ordinary socialist realism is presented in the author's, expressive style. And the distinctive feature of the painter should be noted brightness, contrast and light roughness of the forms, which give the artist's works a special coloring. Thus the artist challenges the established canons of Soviet times and creates his own independent style.
Presented painting, as well as the majority of the author's works, is a protest against the Soviet "one correct" socialist realism. A seemingly simple subject is depicted in a very unusual, original form, including the bright colors of avant-gardism, the cubism of Pablo Picasso, and modernism as the artist's new vision of reality.
Today, the work of Turanskiy Aleksandr Alekseevich occupies a special chapter in the heritage of Ukrainian art. Vividly expressed the original style of presenting the plot, vibrant colors and contrasting tones - a brief characteristic of the style of Turanskiy A.A.
Very colorful and rich work of a talented artist - Turanskiy Oleksandr.
