Original artwork description:

Simple Landscape (2024, oil on canvas, 90x80 cm) by Zakhar Shevchuk is a meditation on reduction and memory. The canvas holds a few essential gestures: a pink arc like a sun, a vertical stripe of color like a tree, pale outlines like paths or fields. Surrounding these are pastel tones of turquoise, yellow, and pink, softly blending into one another.

The simplicity of the marks creates space for imagination. Instead of describing a specific place, Shevchuk invites the viewer to construct their own landscape out of suggestion. The effect is dreamlike, at once abstract and grounded in familiar symbols.

This economy of means recalls modernist traditions of lyrical abstraction, where artists distilled nature into line and color. The lightness and play of this painting resonate with that heritage while retaining Shevchuk’s distinctive voice.

Simple Landscape is part of a private collection. The artist welcomes commissions for collectors who wish to explore this refined and poetic approach to landscape.
