In this haunting work, Zakhar Shevchuk literally painted with fire. Burned Out Land – I (2022) captures the physical and emotional landscape of Ukraine in the first months of invasion. The scorched surface – formed by burning layered papers and cardboard – creates a semi-abstract view of a ruined yet glowing terrain.

Despite its dark palette and tactile charred relief, the piece speaks of renewal. Shevchuk’s creative act mirrors the resilience of nature and people who rebuild after destruction. The surface, once consumed by flame, now gleams with a lacquer finish, symbolizing the protective shell of new beginnings.

Framed under anti-reflective museum glass, the artwork bridges painting and object, devastation and rebirth – a poignant contemporary reflection on transformation and endurance.

Materials used:

Acrylic, Paper, Collage, Organic Materials
