Bad Boy (2025)Ink drawing by Dmytro Filatov

This artwork, titled "Bad Boy," features a striking monochromatic depiction of a young boy. Rendered in shades of black, white, and gray against a muted beige background, the portrait captures the subject's defiant stance and intense gaze. The boy's clothing—a loose shirt and shorts—appears slightly oversized, adding to the composition's expressive quality. Intriguingly, the boy is framed by a stark white geometric shape, which accentuates his figure and creates a sense of depth. The artist employs deliberate drips and smudges, evoking a raw, street-art aesthetic. This dynamic piece combines traditional portraiture with a contemporary, edgy twist, asserting the boy's mischievous demeanor and asserting his presence boldly against the subdued canvas.
