- Babylon 2
Original artwork description
Babylon 2 is a monumental acrylic painting in which Zakhar Shevchuk blends the logic of geometric abstraction with the subtlety of semi-hidden figurative forms. Large, structured colour planes create an architectural framework, while muted silhouettes appear to surface and disappear within this grid. The composition suggests a dialogue between human presence and engineered structure, balancing clarity with ambiguity.
The two small graphic symbols in the lower right corner reinforce the painting’s Constructivist undertone. Their simplified shapes recall the vocabulary of architectural schematics or industrial signage, adding a layer of coded meaning to the image. These marks operate almost like instructions or markers, expanding the interpretive space of the work.
Through scale, precision, and conceptual depth, Babylon 2 becomes both a visual statement and a contemplation of how structure and symbolism shape our understanding of the world.
