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.
The skies above are unnaturally grey, featuring wisps of grey-yellow clouds that reveal a faint circle of sun, evoking a thoughtful contemplation of the unfolding tragedy. The water's turmoil gives way to yellow earthly hues as it engulfs the land, leaving behind a trail of devastation. 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.
Within the masterful strokes lies an invitation to explore emotions of might, calmness, and energy, intertwining with the notion of thoughtfulness amid the tumultuous waters. As viewers immerse themselves in the canvas, they are beckoned to contemplate the delicate balance between nature's force and humanity's creations, pondering the consequences of their actions.
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.

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.
