The Human 18 from Series The Apotheosis of War

2024, Oil on canvas, 50x25 cm

The name for the Apotheosis of War series is stolen from Vereshchagin. Today, the symbol of war and death is not skulls, but black bags. Under the package, we do not see a person, we do not know what gender, age, and so on. Packages are a symbol of mechanical depersonalization, and this is exactly what is happening in Ukraine now.

"Dedicated to all the great conquerors, past, present and future"

The exhibition features four works from the series, titled The Human 18, The Human 19, The Human 20, The Human 21.
