Anastasia Bodnar “Blue City”

2020; painting; canvas, oil; 70×60 cm.

“Gravity”: Author’s concept of works
The city is a big mirror that shows who you really are and what your values ​​are. It’s like a litmus test of what you’re missing and what you’re really striving for. Staying alone for a long time, you feel an urgent need to communicate. In my works I show such a lonely man who wanders through an empty city. Empty, but not dead – full of lights that represent the same lonely people.
