“While creating “Hallucinations in Zasupoyivka”, Max Vityk used a free-flowing paint with stiff consistency that turned to nearly mirror spots when touching the canvas, like quiet but deep lake waters. The expressive active colors of his paintings seem to require from the author an even higher concentration in clearly defined forms, like archaic. Those lines, which seem cut in rock, emphasize a color’s radiance, adding a certain function to it in a conditionally defined (and thus not immediately truly perceived) figure. For instance, the sun and the moon captured by elastic lines begin to pulse even more expressively, and chimerical figures of people and animals gain weight and become monumental, seeming similarly eternal, like the everlasting nature of beautiful Zasupoyivka. It is a visualization of the idea that a human and everything made by a human originates from nature and will dissolve in it (if you only erase the additional lines that define the silhouettes)”.
