\u201cDust Cures\u201d, 2025, object, series of drawings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yevhen works in painting, drawing, video art and creates objects. The artist explores themes of memory, local history, myth-making and the absurd. Part of his method is interventions into reality\u2014often ironic\u2014that reveal the absurdities of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust Cares is a project comprising a series of drawings and an object that recreates the interior of a firing shelter \u2014 a fortification designed to protect and accommodate soldiers. Yevhen lived in such an \u201cinterior\u201d together with other soldiers during basic military training, which the artist calls a \u201cpoetic introduction\u201d to war. This conventional space reveals the simple adaptations made by military inhabitants to make it more suitable for life, or rather for staying: to create the semblance of comfort under conditions far removed from basic everyday comforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawings capture portraits of comrades-in-arms and elements of military life: rest, conversation, a cigarette break; duty in the mess; the soldier Mykola showing how a drone severed half of his finger; the soldier Andrij who misses his family; the soldier Saszko who is a history teacher\u2026 In his drawings Yevhen tells their stories both through the produced images and through accompanying texts \u2014 he supplements the pictures with the personal stories of his subjects. People who were forced to become soldiers manifest human qualities that the artist captures within military routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
