Neighbourhood #1 2018

"Neighbourhood #1" (2018) is an intricate etching by Ukrainian artist Pavlo Makov. The artwork depicts a geometric arrangement of buildings within a seemingly confined space, with a single, central, industrial structure emitting smoke. The image suggests a sense of urban density and confinement, potentially reflecting the artist's observations of urban environments. The inclusion of a dog in the lower right corner adds a touch of surrealism and invites the viewer to consider the relationship between the built environment and its inhabitants. This work exemplifies Makov's distinctive style, characterized by a combination of architectural detail and abstract forms.
