Zakhar Shevchuk’s Memories (2021) is a 105x75 cm oil from the Old Photographs series, where the “flaws” of vintage snapshots – soft focus, scratches, color shift – become poetic devices. The project explores how can carry more truth than description when it comes to remembering.
An older man stands against a dark, smoky ground. The torso is tangible, the face evasive: edges slide, features blur, brushwork cancels and rewrites what seems fixed. The painting stays in motion, like a frame from a film that never fully resolves. Viewers complete the image themselves, reconciling presence with loss.
Balancing narrative hint and painterly abstraction, Memories offers a contemplative, psychologically charged portrait. The piece is in a private collection, the artist accepts commissions in this series and scale.
