Character

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: private collection.

The most frequently reproduced work of Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo equally refers to Cubism and Constructivism. Recognizable by the general schematic outlines, a human figure consists of different-sized and multi-coloured triangles and elongated rectangles. The character looks like a monumental statue, roughly carved from a stone block. The impression is softened by a generally warm palette and an unexpected element. It is a round object that the character holds in his hand. It can be interpreted as a target, or as a signal device of a traffic controller, or even as a flower.
