Black Sun of Chernobyl 1988

"Black Sun of Chernobyl" (1988) by Vudon Baklytsky is a bold and striking artwork that reflects the devastating impact of the Chernobyl disaster. The piece is a collage, showcasing a fragmented composition with stylized shapes and contrasting colors. The artwork is dominated by three fragmented faces, rendered in bright orange, set against a dark background. These fragmented faces symbolize the human toll of the disaster. Surrounding the central figures, a vibrant, almost chaotic, collage of colorful shapes resembling flames and radiating energy represents the radiation's impact on the environment. This artwork is a powerful testament to the enduring impact of this tragedy.
