Yevhenii Shapovalov

Yevhenii Shapovalov is a Ukrainian contemporary artist born in 1986 in Crimea and raised in Chernihiv. His practice explores the human figure through distortion, fragmentation, repetition and visual displacement.
Working primarily with oil and acrylic on canvas, Shapovalov combines figurative painting with expressive deformation, creating images in which the body becomes a space of psychological and physical tension.
His current body of work, “Pressure of Mass,” examines the individual confronted by forces larger than himself — pressure, conflict, resistance and transformation. Through fractured forms and multiplied gestures, familiar figurative imagery becomes unstable, capturing the moment when balance gives way to tension.
He has been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 2015.
