Air Force (2023)Oil painting
by Anatolii Varvarov

№Varv 204

The painting titled "Air Force" presents a clever juxtaposition of man-made invention with the natural world. Dominating the scene is a paper airplane, its wings sharply folded, gliding through the air. The background reveals a strikingly blue sky above and a reflective sea below, with the paper airplane casting a crisp shadow upon the water's surface. This shadow forms a strikingly elongated shape that contrasts with the plane's small form, hinting at the often-unexpected impact of simple creations in the vastness of nature.

The meaning of the painting could be a commentary on the human desire to capture the essence of flight—a concept so effortlessly embodied by birds, yet meticulously pursued by humanity through invention and technology. The paper airplane, a simple yet profound symbol of childhood whimsy and creativity, is elevated to a position of prominence, challenging the viewer to consider the relationship between human ingenuity and the forces of nature. The term "Air Force" in the title may invoke thoughts of military might, but here it is recontextualized to evoke the pure, innocent power of a simple paper plane as it traverses the air, propelled by nothing but a moment's energy and the currents of the wind.
