About The Artwork
Zakhar Shevchuk's profound artwork 'Great Flood' unravels a captivating narrative that delves into the might of nature amidst human-made constructions, inspired by the tragedy of war and ecological devastation. At first glance, this large oil painting appears fully abstract, but upon closer examination, the viewer uncovers the profound meaning infused into the canvas. Dominated by blue hues that symbolize water, the painting portrays a violent flood unleashed by the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine during the ongoing Russian invasion. The depicted water's relentless force sweeps through the canvas, turning yellow-grey and terracotta brown as it engulfs the land, accompanied by white elements illustrating the foaming waves. Zakhar masterfully merges abstract expressionism with a semi-abstract landscape, employing wide, energetic brushstrokes and a textured surface that breathes life into the artwork. Beyond its artistic brilliance, this painting conveys profound emotions of tragedy, highlighting the might of nature against human structures and the ecological devastation left in its wake. The artwork encapsulates the immense human suffering and loss caused by war, drawing attention to the urgency of supporting affected communities. As a young and accomplished artist, Zakhar Shevchuk's journey from academic realism to the blurred boundaries of figurative and abstract art adds depth and complexity to his creations. With a master's degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, Ukraine, Zakhar's artworks have earned global recognition, gracing public and private collections worldwide. Engage with the captivating strokes of 'Great Flood,' a masterpiece that invites viewers to introspect and embrace the unique perspective of a talented artist at the forefront of contemporary artistic exploration.

Art, to me, is a profound exploration of the world that surrounds us - a journey of discovery, experience, and self-understanding. It is a medium through which I unravel the essence of things - their colors, forms, and the interplay between them. I believe in the power of simplicity, in the art of removing the excess and uncovering the necessary, much like a sculptor chisels away at stone. In my paintings, I strive to distill forms to their purest essence, reaching a point where nothing else can be removed without sacrificing meaning. The "necessary" elements, as I perceive them, remain, serving as conduits for my impressions and self-reflections on the subject at hand. My aim is not to depict something specific but rather to transfer the emotions and thoughts evoked by the object onto the canvas. I seek artistic forms that can boldly and vividly capture the essence of these feelings, rather than mere visual representation. In this pursuit, my work often exists on the precipice between figurative and abstract art - place where emotions take precedence over strict visual interpretation. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on their own contemplative journeys, to interpret the subtleties and engage with the interplay of emotions and forms. Each brushstroke carries the weight of my perceptions, inviting you to join me in this exploration of the human experience. zakhar@klossart.com
