Neighbourhood #7 2018

"Neighbourhood #7" is a 2018 etching by Pavlo Makov, known for his intricate and detailed urban landscapes. The artwork depicts a birds-eye view of a dense cityscape, with buildings arranged in a grid-like pattern, intersected by narrow streets. The use of black and white creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the geometric forms and the sense of confinement within the urban environment. The etching's small scale, measuring 26.5 x 22.5 cm, further emphasizes the claustrophobic feeling of the cityscape. Makov's work often explores themes of urban life, architecture, and the impact of modern society on the individual.
