Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Mist I (2024, oil on canvas, 97x97 cm) invites the viewer into a landscape that is more suggested than described. A restrained palette of pale grey and muted green creates the impression of fog, where a faint line becomes horizon and a tonal shift recalls the edge of the sea.

The painting belongs to Shevchuk’s Mist series, which explores how perception works under conditions of uncertainty. In fog, details vanish, yet the mind insists on constructing an image. Mist I captures this process, turning the act of recognition into an aesthetic experience.

The nearly square format enhances balance, while the smooth surface and delicate transitions of tone evoke silence and stillness. It is a work that rewards patient observation, revealing depth through simplicity.

Mist I is at once serene and thought-provoking, making it an evocative choice for collectors drawn to atmosphere, minimalism, and the psychology of vision.
