He is somewhere over here 1990

Oleg Holosiy created this oil on canvas painting to an unknown date. Note the tension between vulnerability and threat, embodied by the figure resting at the heart of this image. The pack of dog-like figures overlooking it are archetypal symbols of predators on the hunt. The contrast between the slumbering figure and the alert pack evokes the ancient motif of vulnerability under threat. One can trace this theme through art history, from the innocent putti in classical painting to the sacrificial victims in religious art. The image is a landscape of the psyche, where primal fears are externalized and played out. Just as the image of the snake embodies unconscious fears and desires in ancient cultures, so too do these canine figures represent primal instincts and subconscious threats. This work is a powerful vision from the depths of the human psyche. It echoes through time, a constant reminder of the delicate balance between safety and danger that defines our existence.
