Artwork location: Ukraine

Dive into 'Foreboding,' a captivating masterpiece created by the talented Ukrainian artist Zakhar Shevchuk. This semi-abstract oil on canvas painting, measuring 60x80 cm, presents a profound narrative through its intricate composition.
The canvas is dominated by a vivid blue-green expanse of water, its surface dramatically disturbed as it approaches the horizon. Towering, wave-like shapes, tinged with yellow and brown, ascend towards the sky, forming an unsettling, tumultuous atmosphere. Even the seemingly calm waters in the lower portion of the painting carry a sense of chaotic motion.
Shevchuk's artistic technique shines through in 'Foreboding.' The rough brushwork creates a textured background, while expressive charcoal lines infuse the scene with energy and dynamism. The color palette of blues and greens, contrasted with whites, yellows, and reds on the horizon and within the clouds, enhances the painting's visual impact.
The inspiration behind 'Foreboding' is deeply rooted in a real-world event—the 2023 breach of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine. This catastrophic event, which occurred during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, led to extensive flooding along the Dnieper River. The dam's breach, suspected to be an act by Russian forces, had severe consequences, including loss of life and significant damage to the region. Shevchuk's artwork captures the calm yet potent undercurrents of this tragedy.
'Foreboding' aims to evoke a unique blend of emotions—calmness and power coexist within its frames. It serves as a reminder of the hidden dangers that can lurk beneath the surface, urging viewers to reflect on the consequences of actions taken in haste.
Zakhar Shevchuk, born in Ukraine in 1992, is a rising star in the art world. Holding a master's degree in arts from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, he now imparts his knowledge as a teacher at the academy. His artworks grace both public and private collections worldwide, and he actively contributes to public projects, including mural paintings and monumental installations.
Shevchuk's artistic journey has evolved from academic realism toward a style that straddles the boundary between figurative and abstract art. In his works, even those that appear fully abstract, viewers will discover intentional elements that tease the senses, inviting them to explore and reinterpret their perceptions.
Experience the intrigue of 'Foreboding' and own a piece that blurs the lines between representation and abstraction, capturing a moment of profound contemplation.

Zakhar Shevchuk, Foreboding
Ukraine  • 1992

Presentation

“I try to simplify the form to the point when it feels that nothing else shall be removed and only the essential elements remain. I transfer my impressions and self-reflections about objects into my paintings. I express what I feel rather than how I see, often arriving somewhere between figurative and abstract art." Zakhar Shevchuk

Zakhar Shevchuk is a young professional painter and draftsman, he holds a master in arts degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (Kyiv, Ukraine) and now himself teaches at the academy. His artworks are held in public and private collections worldwide, furthermore, he often participates in various public projects, such as painting murals and other monumental installations.

With years Zakhar's artistic style moved away from academic realism (which always tended closer to expressionism) and towards the style that in somewhere on the edge between figurative art and abstraction. In many of his works, even those that may seem as fully abstract ones, you will find some elements that were intentionally added, aiming to trick your brain into believing that you have finally found something recognisable, something that matches the reality, but then you suddenly loose it, starting the search over and over again.
