Illya Chichkan and Oleksandra Chichkan - Dig Deeper

You cannot discuss art without making an effort. The shovel becomes a symbol of the researcher artist, someone who is not satisfied with staying on the surface and plunges into the depths of history to look for hidden connections and reinterpret his findings. Malevich becomes the starting point of this trajectory from the purity of form and the revolutionary language of the avant-garde to the limitless variety of artistic experiments.

The shovel symbolizes not just the manual toil but also the inner work of the artist: the ability to ask more questions, to doubt, to explore and to return to what is already known in order to see it from a new perspective. Each new layer unlocks the next one, and what seemed complete becomes a space for a new search.

Dig Deeper is a call not to stop at the obvious, to work harder, to think deeper and to continue searching for the new where everything seems to have already been found.
