About The Artwork
"Fortress Under Approaching Skies" is an oil on canvas masterpiece by Zakhar Shevchuk, a young Ukrainian artist renowned for his work that straddles the line between Realism and Expressionism. Measuring 60 x 50 x 2 cm, the artwork was created in 2013 and reflects the haunting beauty of Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle, a fortress with a rich, multicultural history dating back to the 14th century. The painting captures the dramatic moment just before a storm sweeps over the castle. A sky filled with ominous grey and white clouds forms the backdrop for the fortress’s stark white walls, punctuated by energetic, textured brushstrokes that seem to sway with the wind. The foreground is adorned with patches of green and beige grass, setting an earthy contrast against the sky and castle walls. Zakhar's technical prowess is evident in how the expressive brushwork masterfully creates a realistic rendering, conveying the mood of the moment to the viewer. It encapsulates his philosophical approach to art: to express feeling over form, giving viewers a glimpse into his unique interpretation of the subject. Inspired by the architectural marvel of Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle, this painting stands as a sublime representation of a place caught in a moment of natural drama, making it a unique and captivating addition to both public and private collections worldwide.

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. zakhar@klossart.com
