Paraphrase VII 1983

"Paraphrase VII" (1983) is a work by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin, known for his surreal and symbolic artwork. This particular piece is a striking example of his style, featuring a diamond-shaped composition, a red and black color scheme, and a haunting combination of objects. A document is displayed at the center, with figures and symbols positioned around it, hinting at a narrative that is open to interpretation. Aksinin's works often explored themes of mortality and societal critique, which he conveyed through dreamlike and cryptic visuals. The use of contrasting colors and geometric shapes creates a visual tension, further enhancing the enigmatic nature of the artwork.
