One of the artworks in LCF’s gallery is the painting by Ihor Yanovych from the Horizontals series, entitled №34. At the origin of the series is a number of separate spontaneous compositions on paper in a single format. But gradually works accumulated, thus the full collection was created named Horizontals. In the absence of a rigid conceptual framework, artist was able to experiment with materials, enjoy the maximum freedom of fluid creativity. Paper is a fantastic blank canvas: it allows artist to paint, smudge, spray, create textures and shapes, glue other materials to it, tear it, cut it.
