KAMU
Sergey & Olga
KAMU is a pseudonym for the creative union of two artists, Olga and Sergei Kamennoy, currently based near Paris. After discovering he was colour-blind, Sergei focused his studies on drawing, engraving and etching, subsequently building a successful artistic career. KAMU is the collaboration of Sergei’s technical skills in black and white drawing, gold leaf and engraving, with Olga’s colour expertise. Their works are now in many important permanent collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Russia; The State Art Museum. Bashkortostan; The State Art Museum, Novosibirsk Museum of Contemporary Art, Italy; Musee de Tesse, Le Mans, France; Kharkov Art Museum; Malbork Castle, Poland; The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine; The Ministry of Culture of Russia; and the Russian Culture Foundation. ‘The art of KAMU… combines delicate feminine images with brutal scenes of battles or hunting. … Sergei, a fine artist and expert in art history, brings to these works the graphic, creating a new visual language. Olga, being subtle colourist and, simultaneously, a model and muse, creates the paintings in a unique harmonious way… Eternal themes make these works timeless.’ V.A.Rotenberg
