Avenir 2021

"Avenir" (2021) by Ukrainian artist Pavlo Makov, is a large-scale, minimalist work composed of a repeated pattern of small, geometric shapes. The piece evokes the repetition and uniformity of modern life, reminiscent of the artist's earlier explorations into the human condition in the face of societal structures. The artwork's title, "Avenir," which means "future" in French, suggests a sense of optimism and possibility, despite the underlying theme of repetition. The piece is executed with precise, careful application of black and grey tones against a white backdrop. This use of limited color palette further emphasizes the minimalist aesthetic and draws attention to the repeated forms. This piece is an example of Makov's ongoing exploration of the relationship between individual identity and societal structures in modern society.
