Original artwork description
In Lucy (2020), Zakhar Shevchuk paints concentration itself. At 59x78 cm, a girl sits at a table with papers and a pen; her look is steady while the world around her falls into painterly haze. The figure’s edges are carefully tuned, but the tabletop and background loosen into blues, violets and warm greys.
The eye travels from the sharpness of the face to the blur of books and notes, and back again. Wiped passages and slight scratches keep the surface mobile, like a photographic field where only one point is in focus. The effect is both intimate and contemporary – realist enough to read as portrait, abstract enough to work as atmosphere.
Lucy offers collectors a psychologically charged portrait that balances material surface with narrative restraint. Commissions in a similar size and mood are welcome.
