Untitled 1970

"Untitled" (1970) by Valentin Khrushch (1943-2005) exemplifies the artist's signature style of assemblage and mixed media. The piece features a white painted wooden panel layered with remnants of newsprint, creating a textured surface that speaks to the ephemerality of information and the passing of time. A sculpted form, resembling a shoe, sits atop the panel, its bright orange interior providing a contrasting focal point. Khrushch's work often explored the relationship between objects and their meanings, pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture and challenging viewers to consider the everyday world in new ways.
