“Gravitation” - the famous series by Oleg Malyovanyj

“Gravitation” - the famous series by Oleg Malyovanyj

We are proud that we have in our gallery the famous series of Oleg Malyovanyj  "Gravitation".

   The   "Gravitation" series was created in February 1976. These works are vintage, printed by the author. The uniqueness of these photos is in the fact that their number is limited. The photography’s workshop  was completely burned out of the accident, with all works and negatives in 1979. The “Gravitation” series consists of 5 works: “Misgiving”, “Gravity”, “Exodus”, “Boomerang”, “Boomerang 2”.

   Oleg Malyovanyj used the collage technique and worked throughout 1975 with the support of, perhaps, the most famous group of photographers up to today - “Time”. The author says that his series is about people’s powerless in the face of nature, that nothing will protect a person, and any new technologies can only harm.

    "Gravitation" brought Oleg Malyovanyj a success. First of all, the series was presented at the exhibition in Poland. The another one exhibition was held in France in the city of Nimes, where the series brought the “Grand Prix” to the photographer In 1977.  But most of all Oleg remembered the exhibition in Japan. Asahi Shinbun (authoritative Japanese edition) described what was happening: "Any work accepted at this exhibition is a gold medal at any other art space." A series of "Gravitation" was including.
