Shot (After the shot, he put the gun away) 1991

"Shot (After the shot, he put the gun away)" is a 1991 painting by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993). The painting, which measures 150 x 100 cm, depicts a scene of violence in a domestic setting. The composition is divided into two sections, with the top half showing a man seated in a chair, holding a gun, and the bottom half showing the aftermath of the shooting. The figure in the bottom section lies on the floor, with a trail of blood leading away from him. The interior of the room is depicted in a stark, minimalist style, with few details and a muted color palette. The work is a commentary on the senselessness of violence and the devastating consequences of gun crime.
