Zakhar Shevchuk's "What is Real?" is an extraordinary journey into the delicate balance between perception and reality, masterfully captured on canvas. This artwork, with its vibrant yet contemplative composition, compels the viewer to question the very essence of what they perceive as real. The lower half of the painting is dominated by a compelling mix of semi-abstract forms and the strikingly realistic figure of a young boy. The boy, depicted in mid-action, seems to be engaging in a series of acrobatic exercises, his form beautifully rendered with an attention to detail that almost brings him to life. Surrounding him is a swirl of abstract colors and shapes, blending seamlessly into his environment, creating a sense of movement and fluidity that contrasts sharply with his solid, tangible presence.
As your gaze ascends to the upper portion of the canvas, the intricate details begin to dissolve into a more minimalist reality. The rich, dynamic lower half gives way to a serene and expansive space, dominated by a single, significant orb. This orb, a recurring motif in Shevchuk's body of work, serves as a crucial link between the two contrasting realms depicted in the painting. It invites the observer to ponder the nature of reality: Is the world around us truly as we see it, or is it a complex construct of our minds? The painting deftly balances these two perspectives, suggesting that perhaps the reality we perceive is far more complex and layered than we initially understand.
Shevchuk's choice of colors and composition further enhances this exploration of perception. The cool blues and greens create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, while the subtle transitions between the detailed lower half and the abstract upper half guide the viewer through a journey of introspection. The orb itself, floating serenely between these two worlds, symbolizes the unity of different realities, challenging us to reconsider our understanding of the world around us. "What is Real?" is not merely a visual experience but an intellectual challenge, prompting viewers to engage deeply with the concepts it presents.
This artwork is a perfect addition to any sophisticated art collection. It offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also an opportunity for profound contemplation. Collectors who appreciate art that challenges conventional perspectives and invites deep reflection will find "What is Real?" an invaluable addition to their collection. Don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional piece that beautifully bridges the gap between reality and abstraction, offering a unique glimpse into the mind of one of today's most thought-provoking artists.

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.
