Description
In "Still Life with Onions", Sergey Sologub reimagines the classical still life through a sharply structured, geometric lens. Three golden onions and a papery scrap of peel rest inside an open cardboard box, observed from a direct top-down viewpoint that highlights the crisp orthogonal planes and the symmetry of the unfolded flaps.
The composition sets up an engaging visual tension between the manufactured, angular geometry of the corrugated box and the warm, spherical volumes of the organic produce. Sologub's technical acuity shines in the rendering of surfaces: the brittle, translucent outer skins of the onions transition from rich coppery ambers to pale greenish hues, offset by the dry, flat buff tones of the cardboard interior. Clean cast shadows carve out volume and depth, elevating an everyday shipping container and basic pantry staples into an understated, sculptural arrangement of silence and order.
Presentation
Artist Sergei Sologub was born in 1957 in Kirovograd, in the former Soviet Union (now part of Ukraine). From 1978 to 1982, he studied at the Sverdlovsk Art College (now Yekaterinburg, Russia), and subsequently at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in Moscow (Russia, 1982–1988). Since moving to Germany in 1991, he has worked as an independent artist.
Landscapes, still lifes, technical motifs, and surreal metamorphoses define the pictorial realms of Sergei Sologub. At first glance, they appear full of harmony, opening an ideal world before the viewer, who delights in the precise rendering of subjects and the painterly sophistication of the artistic concept.
Then comes the second look: this presented slice of the world turns out to be an ironic absurdity. The seemingly ideal world is, in truth, completely unstable. Nothing is what it seems, and nothing is certain—especially perception itself.
Sologub is a regular participant in solo and group exhibitions across galleries in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and other countries. His works are held in private collections, museums, and gallery holdings worldwide.
