"Alexander Oligerov finds in the rich tradition of the Russian avant-garde and international modernism—from Kandinsky, Malevich, and Picasso to Pop Art—an impulse for developing his own recognizable style. This definition seems particularly apt here, as his refined minimalism and ability to achieve maximum expressiveness through a limited repertoire of forms and colors lend Oligerov’s works a distinct style—an ability to sense the rhythm of the time, its aesthetics, and to find the necessary plastic solution for it.

Of particular interest is the artist’s approach to zoomorphic motifs, which draws on
the traditional cultures of Indigenous peoples of North and South America, Africa, Australia, and Oceania. Lines intertwine like exotic plants, while animals and birds transform into their conventional semblances, reminiscent of musical notation symbols or ornamental patterns
on clothing or wallpaper.

The picture plane is organized according to the artist’s original concept, where active engagement with decorative combinations of colors, lines, and forms allows him to articulate his own voice within the realm of non-objective painting."
