Out of the variety of the Ukrainian art movements of the last quarter of the 20th - early 21st century, the art of Oleksiy Vlasov is remarkable for its devotion to the established artistic traditions. A monumentalist by profession, Oleksiy Vlasov worked mostly as easel painter. In his easel paintings, independently whether the genre is a landscape or a religious painting, one can feel the repercussions of the best traditions of different cultures of the world – from Byzantine art and Ukrainian icon painting to Renaissance painting and the best achievements of European art of the 17th century. They inspired the artist and provided him with the means for his simultaneously laconic and expressive images, full of semantic nuances. 
 Oleksiy Vlasov was certainly one of the leading masters of the Ukrainian painting culture of the last decades of the 20th – early 21st century. His art organically combined the achievements of the past with the achievements of the newest art. His works give space for a whole variety of interpretations, which is a very important sign of the true art. 
The works of Oleksiy Vlasov are kept in the museums of Ukraine, the Tretyakov gallery (Moscow) and in the private collections of Europe America and Australia. This exhibition shows the paintings from the artist’s workshop.
