Zakhar Shevchuk's "Smoke Break" is an exemplar of modern portraiture, where the essence of the subject is captured through innovative techniques that push the boundaries of traditional representation. In this expressive work, Shevchuk masterfully navigates the precipice between recognizable portraiture and avant-garde abstraction. This painting, while now residing in a private collection, exemplifies Shevchuk’s openness to the commissioned pursuit of similar transformative works. Within "Smoke Break," the viewer encounters a visage distilled to its emotional core, with a nod to the dynamic fragmentation of early 20th-century futurism. The representation of cigarette smoke offers a lively contrast to the otherwise static nature of portraiture, infusing the canvas with a sense of fleeting movement and ephemeral grace. The color palette, rich with cool and warm tones, dances across the canvas, further accentuating the transient moment captured by Shevchuk.

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
