ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Immerse yourself in the profound world of Zakhar Shevchuk's masterpiece, 'The Day After,' a compelling semi-abstract landscape painted with abstract realism. The canvas unfolds the poignant aftermath of an ecologic disaster triggered by the intentional demolition of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine by the invading Russian army. Waves of blue and green water surge relentlessly, marked by wide, energetic brushstrokes, crashing into the horizon where a hint of land stands in the distance. As the water approaches the viewer, the once peaceful scenery turns into a testament of destruction and energy, symbolizing the might of nature. Zakhar's deliberate combination of abstract and realistic elements challenges human perception, compelling the viewer to recognize familiar shapes within the mesmerizing abstract beauty of the urban landscape. Drawing inspiration from real-world events, Zakhar depicts the aftermath of a critical infrastructure's destruction, leaving thousands of lives at risk and numerous settlements submerged. The artwork serves as a stark reminder of the profound human suffering caused by war and the environmental consequences that transcend time. Zakhar Shevchuk, a talented young artist born in Ukraine, carries a rich artistic background, holding a master's degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. His creations have garnered global recognition, residing in public and private collections worldwide. As an artist who evolves, Zakhar's journey from academic realism towards the interplay of figurative art and abstraction breathes life into his creations. In 'The Day After,' even amidst pure abstraction, the intentional addition of recognizable elements prompts a fascinating journey of discovery, challenging viewers to embark on a perpetual search for hidden meanings.

Zakhar Shevchuk
Ukraine
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.
