Painting by Olena Koliesnik
45 x 45 cm • Oil
One of a kind
This work is a viscous, "watercolor" substance, where the pigment barely holds on to the base. This is a state when old structures are collapsing, and new ones have not yet formed. Here the Hero is the most dynamic: he is running. This is a manifesto that certain stages of life cannot be "conceived" - they must simply be passed through, maintaining speed so as not to get stuck in the viscous unknown.
The work is part of the "Journey to..." series - a series of five round canvases. The choice of the round shape of the canvas is a conscious departure from linear logic in favor of cyclicity. This is an exploration of a journey that has no final point, because its goal is the process itself.
At first it was a chaos of texture and color, later the Hero entered these viscous, hot or mystical environments.
These works worked as a tool for "leveling up", where each step into the depths becomes a step up.
