AESTHETIC OF EAS

A film explores the set of principles underlying and guiding the work of Oleksiy Tristan (a.k.a. Eas), Ukrainian urban artist known for his distinctive style of post-graffiti abstract painting.

Ekphrastic study of artist’s body of work represented here as an abstract in V sections. Each section guides us to the place where the mystery of creation is born; gives us the new shade of artistic vision; draws another spontaneous line in the artist’s portrait. So, at the end he appears in front of us like artist “shaman” encountering the spirit of abandoned wall, ready to capture the moment tied to the deeply personal sensations, express the things which are floating in between the words.

“AESTHETIC OF EAS” was filmed in Kremenchuk, the city where Eas was born, still lives and works. Every section of a film embodied with original work of art, created in Ukraine during October 2017.
