Metalanguage 1980

"Metalanguage" (1980) is a graphic artwork by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin, known for his abstract and symbolic style. The work features a grid of geometric shapes and abstract figures, reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, while the intricate details and symbolic imagery invite contemplation and interpretation. The artwork reflects Aksinin's interest in the relationship between language, meaning, and visual representation, exploring the potential of art to transcend linguistic boundaries.
