Bo Kravchenko Landscapes 2020/21
“Bo Kravchenko’s oil paintings are a true celebration of the medium. Working intuitively - with the deftest of touches - he fnds beauty in the simple things that surround our everyday lives. I particularly love Bo’s atmospheric landscape paintings, which really demonstrate his mastery of color. Confdent color combinations and bold compositions give Bo’s landscapes a distinctly contemporary feel that elevates his work within the traditional genre, often blurring the line into abstraction. On the surface, there is tranquility to the landscapes, but their anonymous nature gives them emotional charge, as we are encouraged to create our own narratives about the pieces. Bo creates works you want to keep exploring and coming back to.”

Bogdan Kravchenko, Biography
Bo Kravchenko got his Master’s degree in Book Graphics at Kyiv State Academy of Arts and started painting in 2010 after a long and successful career in creative advertising. His both parents were artists, and art was the focus at home. After graduation, Bogdan published sixteen books with his book illustrations, and then for many years worked at creative agencies in Europe until he found himself on the East coast of Florida. Under the impression of its beauty, he felt the pull to return to painting and photography. Having spent a life collaborating with galleries, artists, and designers, he had a clear idea of what he wanted to work on. Soon he was able to work full-time as a painter, selling his artworks through festivals and online art galleries, participating in solo and group exhibitions. Today, Bogdan sells his paintings to collectors all over the world and exhibits extensively. After a decade of painting his favorite landscape theme, he has gained confdence and technical skills. Today, he tends to work on a larger scale and abstractly, with a focus on light, textures, and how the landscape works in an abstract context.
