Description

In The Turn, Alexander Levich captures a brief moment encountered during an ordinary drive through the countryside and transforms it into a lasting visual memory. Created as part of the series Twenty Minutes of One Evening, the painting reflects the artist's fascination with the unnoticed beauty hidden within everyday surroundings. Rather than portraying a specific place, Levich reconstructs the atmosphere and emotional impression that remained after the journey itself had ended.

The composition is organised around a road disappearing beneath an avenue of trees. The perspective naturally pulls the viewer forward, creating a sensation of movement through space. A small road sign introduces a subtle narrative element, hinting at a change of direction and providing the key to the title. Yet the work is less concerned with where the road leads than with the experience of approaching the unknown. The familiar landscape becomes a metaphor for transition, curiosity and discovery.

Levich's expressive use of colour places the painting in conversation with Post-Impressionist and Fauvist traditions. Bright blues, vibrant greens and warm oranges replace naturalistic observation with emotional interpretation. In this respect, the work echoes artists such as André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, whose landscapes sought to communicate sensation rather than visual accuracy. Colour becomes a language through which memory and atmosphere are conveyed.

The large scale of the painting is essential to its impact. At 120 × 200 cm, the canvas engages the viewer physically as well as visually, creating the impression of entering the landscape rather than merely observing it. This immersive quality reflects the central idea of Twenty Minutes of One Evening: that even the most ordinary moments can reveal unexpected beauty when viewed through the artist's eyes.

The artwork is in private collection. Similar commissioned works inspired by this series may be available upon request.

Presentation

“What is the most important in our life? Definitely it is not a material world that surrounds us. It is our inner world! Art is a key that opens that world for us. If you follow that path, you will learn how to see, not how to look, but how to SEE. I try to cover the true meaning with my artwork. Art is an instrument of communication, a field for your thoughts. The question is always deeper than the answer. And the answer is something for you to find by yourself. My paintings will only guide you through the pathway of your own thoughts. I attempt to offer you a joy of communication with yourself, your inner world, a luxury of harmony and solitude." Alexander Levich

Alexander was born in 1963 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 1987 he graduated from painting faculty of the Kyiv Art Academy, workshop of Professor A.M. Lopukhov. Since 1990 he is a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Alexander's artworks may be divided into two periods. 

The first period that lasted for over 20 years after his graduation from the Academy of Arts, from early 90th and up to 2010, was focused on the search of something new and unusual. He was experimenting with different styles, techniques, and themes. This is how Alexander arrived at a style that is abstract, as it does not depict anything that we know or what our eyes are used to, at the same time it is also, to certain extent, a figurative art, as it shows certain fantasy objects, inspired by classical music and literature, sea travels and explorations, love and friendship… Alexander calls that style an “Intellectual Abstraction" and promises that he will return to it someday. 

Around 2010 Mr. Levich decided to go against the mainstream of abstractionism and turned to realistic artworks that are pleasant and comforting for the eyes, yet, contain a deeper meaning that provides our mind with a field for thoughts and “a joy of communication with yourself, your inner world, a luxury of harmony and solitude". 

Events and Exhibitions:

Paintings of Alexander Levich are often exhibited in various galleries. His paintings are included in public collections of Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, Directorate of the Artists Union of Ukraine, Zaporizhya Arts Museum, Museum of History of City of Kyiv, and Modern Art Museum of Dnipro. Alexander's artworks are also in numerous corporate and private collections around the world, in particular USA, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Japan, etc.

Alexander Levich is a co-author (together with Akim Levich and Yuriy Paskevych) of the monument "Menorah", erected in 1991 at Babi Yar (a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kiev) to commemorate Jews that were executed in 1941 on the scene of possibly the largest shooting massacre during the Holocaust. Alexander is also an author of monument “For the Inmates of Syretsky Camp", erected in 1991 to commemorate those imprisoned in this Kyiv sub-camp of Sachsenhausen during the Second World War. In 1992 Alexander Levich was a co-author (with Alexander Karunskiy) of the memorial sign “In Memory of Alexey Grischenko" in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
