Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Ordinary Day 2 (2022) is a 60×80 cm oil from the Old Photographs series, where the “flaws” of old snapshots – blur, stains, scratches – are recast as poetic devices. The project explores how much information a memory truly needs, and how texture and light can carry emotion where detail falls away.

Here, two figures sit at a table before a bright window/door opening. A cool, textured wall anchors the scene; a column of daylight presses inward, erasing edges and pushing the silhouettes toward abstraction. Controlled drips of pale paint slide across the darker ground, fusing accident with intention and letting the figurative dissolve into atmosphere.

For collectors who seek works at the boundary of narrative and materiality, Ordinary Day 2 offers a concentrated, tactile meditation on memory. The artist accepts commissions in this series and scale.
