Composition (With Big Circle). Папір, Воскова Пастель. 31,5х43 (у Світлі) 1980

Hryhorii Havrylenko made this "Composition (With Big Circle)" with wax pastel on paper. The composition is immediately striking for its arrangement of colorful circles against a textured background. The large central red circle dominates, exuding a sense of warmth and energy. The varying sizes and colors of the circles create a visual rhythm that invites the eye to dance across the surface. The use of wax pastel gives the work a tactile quality; the strokes build up layers of color, creating depth and luminosity. It challenges our notions of space and form by creating a self-contained world governed by its own internal logic. The artwork invites us to reconsider how we perceive and categorize the visual world. The circle, a shape often associated with wholeness, here becomes a signifier of the self-contained universe. It destabilizes traditional notions of representation. This piece serves as a powerful example of art's capacity to redefine our understanding of form.
