Summary:

Since 2009, the German-Russian painter Yury Kharchenko (*1986) has occupied himself in his work groups, and lately also in portraits, with questions regarding human identity as well as his own Jewish identity. Although he regards his identity as poisoned by the Holocaust, he does not impose a prohibition of images, but instead strives for a language that leads to a freedom of emotional and philosophical engagement. In his visual imagery, violence, and beauty are juxtaposed with one another and intermix. There is also sexuality, love, and, again and again, the color red. This color gives the works an organic and contradictory quality at the same time. Exhibition: Felix Nussbaum Haus, Osnabrück, Germany (19.08.-08.11.2018) / NS Dokumentationszentrum, Cologne, Germany (13.07.-02.09.2018).
