Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Rainy Night (2024) captures the contemplative stillness of a nocturnal downpour. In oil on canvas, the artist builds veils of grey-blue that shift subtly across the surface. Vertical streaks recall the rhythm of rainfall, while soft tonal transitions suggest clouds and distant horizons blurred by moisture.

The painting is both abstract and atmospheric. It may evoke a seascape, a rainy city street, or simply the sensation of looking through water at night. This ambiguity allows each viewer to bring their own memory into the work, transforming it into a personal meditation.

Minimal in palette but rich in nuance, Rainy Night embodies Shevchuk’s ability to balance restraint with emotional depth. It offers a space for reflection, where silence and stillness become visible.
