Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Waiting (2021) is a 95x70 cm oil from the Old Photographs series, where the “flaws” of old snapshots – blur, scratches, light leaks – become poetic devices. The project investigates how suggestion can carry more truth than description when we recall the past.

A boy stands still in what reads as a train/bus station. Teal shadows and warm flares shape the concourse; outlines appear, soften, and shift as if seen through moving film. The viewer participates in the image by finishing it – deciding whether he awaits transport or someone dear.

Balancing narrative hint and painterly abstraction, Waiting offers an intimate, psychologically charged scene. The artist accepts commissions in this series and scale.
