About the artist
Oleg Tistol is a Ukrainian contemporary artist. He was born in Vradiivka, Nikolaev region, Ukraine, in 1960. Graduated from the Kyiv Republican Art School in 1978. Graduated from the Lvov State Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1984. Tistol's art, which emerged at the edge of the Soviet and post-Soviet epochs, combined both a critique of Soviet culture with re-evaluation of its clichés, as well as the vital, joyful, and playful atmosphere, which largely defined the appeal of the “Ukrainian new wave”. Combining in his works the national and soviet symbols, myths and utopias he discovered for himself the notion of simulacrum — a copy with no original. Such a paradoxical self-sustainability of propaganda as substitution for the non-existing items unexpectedly unites propaganda with pop-art. Tistol was primarily interested in its formal aesthetic aspects - stencil plates, color back-ups, smoothly painted surfaces.
