PAUSE UPDATE PLAY
The project "Pause, update, play" is the reflection of three artists on three topics: pause, update, and launch.
These concepts represent a constantly repeating process that affects our life. It accompanies us in work, thoughts, everyday life, and world history. Pause is stagnation, silence, and waiting. Renewal is the energy of destruction and change. Launch is a new beginning.
The experiment aimed to gather reflections of different artists on radically different in one space, as if in a laboratory. The same materials, the same working time, general discussions of project management, and the exchange of experience and opinions gave birth to contrastingly different but united by one global topic, works of art.

PAUSE
A pause is a critical point before a new beginning. At this moment everything that exists after a sharp emotional shock is aimed to change the existing order.
Thoughts are aimed to a new, perfect future, and such thoughts create space for ideas. White spots of light, breaking through the dark veil of stagnation, illuminate the petrified, silent images, giving them directions for the movement. The viewers are behind the silhouettes, so they do not know what they feel, and most importantly, what they see. However, the attraction of this light creates the feeling that the stone is about to come alive.

UPDATE
The "renewal" series of works originates from reflections on the reset, unstable state of reality where the old has ended and the new has not yet begun. Soft dynamic images densely fill the entire canvas space, like details of a constructor that still has to be assembled. A saturated, clean palette hints at future prospects and an open path to becoming something new, something next.
Random images, as if taken from a still frame of a film, are the projection of the thoughts and feelings of people and society onto a new reality because humanity, in particular, shapes the future.

PLAY
The launch series is a new imaginary reality. The intense, aggressive color palette is chosen to create a sense of the otherness of the space depicted on the canvases. Adam and Eve symbolize the beginning of a new, completely different existence. The layering of images of sharp urban landscapes and scenes from everyday life is created to show how confidently new creatures live in a self-revived reality. And the depicted new world, despite the contrast, appears before us immersed in Ukrainian ethnic motives, thus paying tribute to its history and remembering its roots.
