Untitled 

Ilya Isupov created this intriguing watercolour, ink, and tempera painting, Untitled. The overall composition presents a dreamlike scene with figures seated on a bus engulfed in water, creating a disorienting yet compelling visual experience. The artist employs a juxtaposition of the ordinary and the surreal. We see people as we know them, and the bus-like interior is familiar, but these elements exist in a state of flux. Note the woman with the car atop her head, a striking symbol of the disruption of reality and the subconscious leaking into everyday life. The flat rendering and precise lines give a sense of order, while the narrative content challenges this order. It raises questions about how we perceive reality and how the artist destabilizes established meanings through absurd combinations. The use of water, a potent symbol of transformation, underscores the idea of fluidity, challenging fixed categories and encouraging us to reflect on the instability of meaning itself.
