Bombing 1991

"Bombing" (1991) is a powerful painting by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993) depicting a harrowing scene of aerial warfare. The canvas, rendered in a dark palette, evokes a sense of impending doom. The depiction of airplanes in the sky, with their bombs casting white shadows on a field below, evokes a chilling portrayal of the devastation of war. The artist’s choice of a stippled brushstroke and the somber palette intensify the impact of the scene, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.
