Landscape 1970

Hryhorii Havrylenko made this landscape painting with a light, almost ethereal palette. It’s like he’s trying to capture not just a scene, but a feeling, a memory. Look closely and you'll notice how he builds up the surface with these tiny, precise marks. Each one seems deliberate, part of a larger, meditative process. The paint isn’t about being flashy or showing off, it’s about something more subtle. It's as though Havrylenko is trying to find the essence of the landscape itself. The horizon line, so faint it nearly disappears into the sky, seems to vibrate with a quiet energy. It reminds me a little of Agnes Martin's delicate lines, suggesting a similar interest in the quiet, almost invisible structures that underlie our perception of the world. Ultimately, it's a reminder that art is often about the questions we ask, rather than the answers we provide.
