About this artwork
The "From Belarus with Love" series, like previous works, features images of airplanes, but this time they are not military. Paper airplanes, made from reproductions of classical paintings, are placed in mundane, gray landscapes. The artist is drawn to the idea of cultural intervention—bringing art beyond the confines of museum walls. By placing well-known themes from art history in a specific environment, the artist imbues these subjects with…
new meaning. As a child, the artist enjoyed launching airplanes as a game—conversing with historical figures, playing with contexts and themes, and thereby engaging the viewer in this play.

- Established Artist
- Works on commission
Alexander Nekrashevich, a graduate of the Republican Art School and the Belarusian Academy of Arts, masterfully engages with traditional media like oil on canvas, drawing on paper, and airbrush on aluminium. His techniques blend a playful postmodernist approach with the fluctuating aesthetics of metamodernism, oscillating between irony, sincerity, eclecticism, and purity. His art invites viewers into a thrilling emotional landscape, where enthusiasm and sarcasm, destruction and creation, coexist in vibrant harmony.
