The death of the tractor operator (two sides) 1990

"The death of the tractor operator (two sides)" is a 1990 work by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993), known for his surreal and enigmatic paintings. This diptych, painted in a fragmented, layered style, features a series of seemingly unrelated images juxtaposed within a red frame. The left panel depicts a figure, possibly a man, with a long, flowing form amidst a dark, abstract background, while the right panel presents a more chaotic arrangement of figures and objects, including a bird in flight and a circular symbol. The overall effect is unsettling and suggestive, leaving the viewer to interpret the meaning and connections between the disparate elements.
