In this 2018 piece, a deformed, sprawling human figure is delineated with bold, spray-softened lines in deep burgundy. Set against a pale ground marked by sweeping brushstrokes in cool grey and muted lavender tones, the figure stretches across the frame with exaggerated limbs, simplified facial features, and an open mouth. Several small dark specks float near the upper center, accentuating the raw, spontaneous surface.
Roman Mykhailov's practice centers on the deformation of images, conceptual graphics, and social symbolism, creating stripped-down figurative motifs with direct graphic impact.
Measuring 52 × 47 cm, this piece fits easily into modern or minimalist interiors, offering a bold visual statement against neutral walls, raw plaster, or industrial finishes.
