Original artwork description:

In Reverse Fountain, Zakhar Shevchuk reimagines one of art’s most famous motifs. A white funnel shape floats over a layered yellow-grey background, evoking both architecture and reflection. Instead of gushing outward, this fountain seems to draw the world in – transforming Duchamp’s provocation into calm self-examination.

The composition merges neo-expressionist vitality with conceptual restraint. The visible drips recall Basquiat’s urgency, while the muted palette and empty centre suggest meditation. The tension between intellect and feeling gives the work its quiet magnetism.

A museum-scale piece for collectors of conceptual and emotional abstraction, Reverse Fountain expands Shevchuk’s exploration of urban symbolism and the spiritual dimension of form.
