He works in the techniques of painting, object, sculpture, graphics, photography, installation, addressing the themes of urban narratives and urbanism. . Shevchuk’s main motives for creativity were already formed at that time: objects decomposed into pieces, landscapes folded like a puzzle from fragments of vision, combinatorics of picturesque planes. The surface of the canvas (although for Shevchuk it is often not a canvas, but deliberately roughly knocked down boards or plastic) takes on a multifaceted image that is in motion. The artist’s gaze scans not the moment, but time, like a timelapse, and not an impression or impression remains on the picture, but an episode that takes the viewer into the fourth dimension.
