Original artwork description
Hide and Seek (2024) by Zakhar Shevchuk is a rare example of a small painting carrying the presence of a monumental statement. This 29x24 cm oil on canvas uses heavily textured impasto to form a column of five indistinct childlike figures, each placed in a pale-blue frame reminiscent of a bathtub.
The image reflects a wartime adaptation witnessed in Ukraine: during missile alerts, many households without shelters relied on bathtubs for protection. Shevchuk transforms this stark reality into a symbolic composition where repetition mirrors both routine and endurance. The title, Hide and Seek, plays with this duality, where innocence and fear meet in the same space.
This artwork is sold, but commissions are welcome for collectors seeking emotionally resonant works with layered narratives.
