Acrylic painting Deja vu Maksym Newskulenko

№New 5

The acrylic painting titled "Deja vu" is a bold, abstract representation of a figure, composed of fragmented geometric shapes and planes that come together to form a visage and upper body. The artwork is characterized by sharp lines, angular forms, and a vibrant palette that creates a dynamic and somewhat disorienting effect, reminiscent of cubist works. The subject's face is the central element of the composition, depicted in a stylized manner where the features are dissected into various shapes and colors. One eye is prominently visible, rendered in shades of black and white with a striking red accent, suggesting intensity or emotion. The other side of the face seems to merge with the abstract forms surrounding it, playing with the concept of perception and recognition. The figure's attire appears to be a black garment with dark red outlines, which is also broken into facets and planes, contributing to the overall fragmented appearance of the scene. The body and clothing blend into the background, where large, bold shapes in blue, yellow, red, and black intersect and overlap, creating a sensation of depth and movement. The use of contrasting colors not only separates the different elements of the composition but also unites them, creating a cohesive yet complex image that challenges the viewer's sense of familiarity—hence the title "Deja vu." This painting may evoke a sense of having seen or experienced something before, through the interplay of recognizable form and abstract disruption.

Among the works, mostly female portraits are presented, in which a realistic image of the human body and geometric elements in the style of pop art are skillfully combined. The heroines of the works are calm, majestic, as if goddesses in modern clothes are preoccupied with the affairs of the present and are full of thoughts about the eternal. Each of them has its own story and is imbued with the author's personal love for the female image. The artist conveys the feeling of admiration, respect and exaltation of women as the source of life.
