Original artwork description:

Frame combines architectural structure with expressive abstraction to create a painting that feels like a view into another realm. A soft rectangular border suggests a window or portal, while the interior bursts into a cascade of vertical drips, blended colours, and gestural marks. The result is an image that oscillates between landscape and pure abstraction.

Shevchuk plays with the idea that every frame shapes what we perceive. The boundary does not define a scene; it transforms it. The world beyond appears fluid, shifting, and emotionally charged – sometimes suggesting a city seen through rain-soaked glass, other times a purely internal state of mind. The ambiguity is central to the painting’s emotional depth.

With its combination of structure and expressive freedom, Frame invites viewers to decide for themselves whether they are looking outward or inward. It is a contemplative work that speaks to the fluid nature of perception, memory, and personal experience.
