As a participant of Outpost for Contemporary Art’s 2007-2008 residency cycle, Gnilitsky traveled to Los Angeles from February 18 - April 6, 2008. His impressions of the city quickly translated into bold canvases, which were on view at Open Gallery, an independent gallery adjacent to Outpost for Contemporary Art.
Based in Kyiv and Munich, Olexander Gnilitsky incorporates painting, video, poetry, drawing, photography, kinetics, and many other available means and methodologies into his practice. This exhibition marks the artist's first solo exhibition in the United States. Gnilitsky is also included in the exhibition, This is the Future Before it Happened at The Glendale College Art Gallery from February 7 - March 14, 2009.
