ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The work itself was done on a bronze background and has an abstract background in dark turquoise. From a classificatory point of view, the Bengali writing system is an abugida, i.e. its vowel graphemes are mainly realised not as independent letters, but as diacritics modifying the vowel inherent in the base letter they are added to. Bengali writing system is written from left to right and use a single letter case, which make it a monocameral script, as opposed to bicameral ones like Latin alphabet. It is recognisable, as are other Brahmic scripts, by a distinctive horizontal line known as matra (মাত্রা) running along the tops of the letters that links them together. The Bengali writing system is however less blocky and presents a more sinuous shape than the Devanagari script.

SHABE I have been drawing since 2003, In Kiev, Ukraine. My canvases are my personal experience, on them I depict different fonts, it can be a set of elements from which I will create the whole alphabet in the future, the alphabet makes up words, and words are a form of human communication, and a way to convey knowledge through time. The alphabet as a form of transmission of information from all worlds I have been doing calligraphy and lettering for a long time, worked as a calligraphy teacher at an art school, and now I am an asset drawing fonts. I really like the 8-bit dandy prefix and I play it now, and it inspired me to create 8-bit lettering. I like to achieve perfect shapes, sometimes I play with tags in fillings, almost all of my pieces are tightly limited to the budget, and I use cheap paint to cover the roofs)) now it’s interesting to write different words that incite people to different thoughts, since graffiti has become a mouthpiece for me and the mirror of my inner world. For example, we did one work from campaigning for the mayoral elections in Kiev and on election day we doused everything with gasoline and set it on fire, we call this day “the day of silence” when any campaigning is prohibited, with this work we wanted to show that the words of these people are ashes. You can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxtlKStNJhs Now I am preparing my exhibition of canvases and drawing pieces in parallel, I painted in such countries as Spain France Lithuania Latvia Greece Turkey Russia Thailand Czech Republic Slovakia Austria Lebanon and of course Ukraine. Peace for everyone.
