Acrobats 1987

Dmytro Kavsan's 1987 artwork "Acrobats" is a captivating black and white etching that depicts a dynamic and precarious human pyramid. The artist's use of intricate lines and delicate shading creates a sense of movement and tension, highlighting the strength and agility of the acrobats. The composition emphasizes the circularity of the circus ring, with the performers seemingly defying gravity as they balance on each other. The numerous spectators, rendered with expressive strokes, add to the atmosphere of spectacle and wonder. This work is a powerful exploration of human skill, physicality, and the enduring appeal of the circus.
