District #4 2018

"District #4" (2018) by Pavlo Makov is a compelling black and white lithograph depicting an aerial view of an urban district. The work's visual style is reminiscent of architectural blueprints, with a grid-like structure that emphasizes the uniformity and repetition of the buildings. The artist's use of shading and detail allows for a glimpse into the lives and activities of the residents, adding a sense of human presence to the otherwise stark landscape. Makov's use of lithograph, a traditional printing technique, reinforces the historical context of the work, while the subject matter speaks to the contemporary concerns of urban planning and development.
