Light on the Canvas and a Shot to the Back of the Head. What Does Olexander Murashko’s Painting Hide?

Collage by Olena Zelenina.

Standing in the halls of the National Museum in Lviv named after Andrey Sheptytsky at the exhibition "Oleksandr Murashko. Color Modulations," I caught myself looking at "Peasant Family" not as a textbook canvas, but as a living slice of time. My gaze lingered on the background, on the wall covered with… children’s drawings.
