Description
LOT 57 Vlad Kryshovsky . Kozak. Acrylic.
22 x 47 cm, painted in 2023.
The artist created a unique painting masterpiece literally on the Artifacts of War. But first, a bit of history – it all started when our heroic soldiers collected from the very heat of battle the lids of the transport and launch containers of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems, which are knocked out during the launch of a missile, and these lids became an unusual basis for real paintings. By the way, all the artifacts were directly used by our artillery soldiers during combat operations to protect the Ukrainian sky.
All funds raised through the sale of works during the exhibition and auction will go to support the military, who are regularly supported by the Cossack Drive charity foundation.
Stress from the war and the realization that life will no longer be the same as before, large-scale shifts in society and the very course of history, the birth of one’s own child affected the palette of Vlad Kryshovsky. Instead of bright and open colors, he now prefers gray and rusty tones. The layouts of the canvases have also changed. Previously – fantastic, futuristic, humorous and emphatically absurd; now – directed to the past, inspired by archival photos, folk ornaments and folklore. However, humor and absurdities remain important tools in this artist’s arsenal.
