How Much Longer? (2017) is a large oil on canvas by Zakhar Shevchuk, measuring 168x86 cm. Painted from life, the work captures the fatigue and strength of a nude model during a prolonged studio session. The figure sits with poise, her pale body contrasting with the deep, textured drapery beneath her. The model’s gaze is both weary and introspective, inviting the viewer to contemplate the endurance and vulnerability behind the act of posing.
Shevchuk’s brushwork emphasizes immediacy and sensation rather than polished realism. The background swirls with expressive reds, violets, and blues, providing an emotional counterpoint to the calm solidity of the figure. This interplay highlights the tension between discipline and freedom – a hallmark of the artist’s early works.
Now preserved in a private collection, the painting is a testament to Shevchuk’s evolving approach to figurative art. He continues to explore commissions, making his practice accessible to collectors who wish to engage directly with his expressive language.
