Description
Among the works comprising Alexander Levich's Twenty Minutes of One Evening series, The Railway Crossing stands apart for its emphasis on movement and modern infrastructure. Inspired by a brief moment encountered during a countryside drive, the painting captures the experience of arriving at a railway crossing just as a train passes through. What might ordinarily be regarded as an inconvenience becomes, through the artist's eyes, a moment of unexpected visual intensity.
The composition is organised around the crossing itself. Barriers, warning signs, electrical structures and reflections on the wet road establish a geometric framework through which the train moves at speed. The locomotive appears deliberately blurred, almost dissolving into light and colour. This treatment shifts attention away from physical description and towards perception. The viewer experiences the train not as a static object but as an event unfolding in real time. The glowing headlights and warm evening tones reinforce the impression of fleeting movement suspended within memory.
Art-historically, the painting invites comparison with aspects of Futurism, particularly its fascination with velocity, machinery and the transformation of everyday experience by modern technology. Yet Levich approaches these themes from a markedly different perspective. Where the Futurists celebrated industrial power, he remains interested in atmosphere and human experience. The painting also recalls later explorations of motion and blurred perception found in twentieth-century painting, including certain works by Gerhard Richter. Rather than glorifying speed, Levich captures the emotional texture of encountering it.
The elongated 100 × 200 cm format contributes significantly to the work's impact. Its panoramic proportions echo the movement of the train itself, while the large scale creates an immersive, cinematic viewing experience. Within the broader context of Twenty Minutes of One Evening, the painting demonstrates how even a routine pause during a journey can become a memorable and visually compelling event.

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.
