Oleg Char – Contemporary Artist Exploring Light, Identity & Spirituality
Multidisciplinary Art That Transforms Space and Spirit
Oleg Char is a Russian-American contemporary artist, award-winning designer, and published photographer based in Los Angeles. His work merges photography, neon light, painting, and conceptual text into a singular, evolving language that explores self-awareness, duality, and spiritual transformation.
Each artwork invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and connect — offering a visual meditation on identity, energy, and presence.
Signature Series: Abstract Painting, Neon, and Conceptual Photography
From the Shadows
In this abstract expressionist series, gestural paint strokes, removal techniques, and textural layering echo the human journey through chaos, trauma, and emergence. Each piece mirrors the subconscious mind in conversation with the conscious self.
Chakra Harmony
A fusion of minimalism, neon, and symbolic photography, this series explores the seven chakras through black-and-white yoga silhouettes and radiant color. It bridges ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary art aesthetics.
Coalescence
Vintage mirrors are restored and transformed into portals of self-reflection. Painted affirmations and meditative phrases create an interaction between the viewer, the moment, and the artwork — a living, breathing dialogue between soul and surface.
This Is Not a Sign
Born during the global lockdowns, this photography series captures urban neon signs — from the iconic to the overlooked. Influenced by Magritte and Ruscha, it blurs the line between documentation, memory, and visual poetry.
From Urban Signage to Spiritual Symbols
Oleg’s art occupies the intersection of the sacred and the urban. From luxury interiors to conceptual gallery walls, his work resonates with collectors seeking more than aesthetics — they seek meaning. His ability to blend commercial iconography with deep emotional and spiritual resonance makes his work accessible and profound.
Exhibitions, Collectors, and Gallery Collaborations
Oleg Char’s work is collected worldwide and has been exhibited in various gallery spaces. His pieces are available through Artsy and directly through his online studio. He is currently seeking representation in major art markets including Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
