Igor Mikhailenko turns to abstract expressionism. His works are featured in the Kovalenko Krasnodar Art Museum, Krasnodar Regional Exhibition Hall, Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art in St. Petersburg, as well as in private collections in Russia, the United States, Israel, Lebanon, and Germany. Texture, which is most prominent in expressionism, was a significant element of the artist’s previous works. Also, the canvas texture was both an effect and a technique. His works from 2020 exhibit a different approach. The canvas features iridescent shapes with perfectly smooth surfaces and a distinct rhythm. The dual-level composition follows the rules of symmetry and dimension.
