Colorful Corpses, an international online solo exhibition by Jake Sheykhet opens on September 20, and will continue for two months until November 20, 2023.
Jake Sheykhet art is influenced by his Soviet roots as his parents are from Kyiv, Ukraine. Moreover, his art is referenced by Tarkovsky films, and Eastern Orthodox icons. Jake believes that there's beauty in pain, in brutality, in joy, in love, in hideousness. For him, modernity, as evidenced by the news, is often brutal. Therefore, his art aims to be both beautiful and of its time and it often captures dark moments - moments of suspension, where the line between life and death is blurred.
Perhaps it's a coping mechanism for him - a way to deal with the hideousness as by finding beauty in it he can live with dark truths.
