Composition From a Series 'Compositions With Colored Square Shapes' 1981

Hryhorii Havrylenko made this ‘Composition With Colored Square Shapes’ using collage, a method that revels in its own making. There’s nothing hidden here. The textures speak volumes, right? You've got these rough, torn edges of paper bumping up against flat, boldly colored shapes. The browns are earthy and muted, while the reds, blues, and yellows are saturated, almost screaming for attention. I love the little black square tucked away in the corner—it’s like a tiny anchor grounding all the chaos around it. Look at the way these shapes overlap and interact; it feels like a playful dance, a conversation between color and form. It reminds me of Miró, maybe, with its sense of freedom and childlike wonder, yet it carries its own distinct voice. It's a great example of how art is not about answers, but about opening up possibilities.
