Tower in twilight sky

Comments Off on Tower in twilight sky

The picture takes place in Democratic Republic of the Congo at morning in the near future. The weather is an eclipse – a bruised, violet sky partially obscured by swirling ash. The genre is Actionism in Ink-wash Painting technique, heavily influenced by Oleg Kulik. A young man, no older than 20, with weathered skin and intense, dark eyes, is meticulously constructing a fragile tower of charcoal blocks within a crumbling, abandoned tin shack. Around him, scattered on the dusty ground, are dozens of vibrant, yet fading, Arborvitae branches, their needles stained with streaks of dark grey ink. A lone, emaciated greyhound cautiously observes the scene from the doorway, its gaze filled with a haunting mixture of curiosity and despair. The overall composition is chaotic yet deliberate, emphasizing texture and a sense of urgent, unfinished action. The color palette is dominated by deep violet, charcoal grey, and muted browns, with flashes of luminous grey ink.
