Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Burned Out Land – II (2022) blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture. Created by burning layers of paper and cardboard, it embodies both destruction and rebirth. The scorched textures, amber tones, and traces of smoke form a semi-abstract urban landscape where shapes seem to rise from the ashes.

Rather than depicting despair, Shevchuk captures resilience. Each blackened fragment becomes a metaphor for regeneration – a reminder that devastation can lead to renewal. The artist’s process of “painting with fire” converts raw energy into calm balance, making this piece simultaneously violent and meditative.

Framed under premium anti-reflective Artglass, this mixed-media work is ready to hang, inviting collectors to contemplate beauty born of endurance.
