Stop engine #3 1991

"Stop engine #3" is a 1991 painting by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993). The artwork depicts a solitary figure in a dynamic pose, seemingly holding a rifle and aiming at an unseen target. The use of bold, contrasting colors, particularly the vibrant red and green, creates a sense of urgency and tension. The figure's form is partially obscured by the background, suggesting a sense of mystery and ambiguity. The work's composition and style evoke a sense of Expressionism, highlighting the artist's emotional response to a particular moment or event. This piece is a prime example of Holosiy's artistic style, which often explored themes of war, violence, and human resilience.
