North East (Work No. 2 from Road Cycle Destination) from the Roads North-East Direction series

A delicate web of ink lines traces routes and pathways across the warm, glossy surface of varnished wood, evoking the cartographic language of roads and journeys. Zhyvotkov harnesses the natural grain of the wood as an active element of the composition, allowing it to merge with his markings and suggest the organic unpredictability of travel and landscape. The work reflects the artist's ongoing meditation on movement, direction, and the human impulse to navigate and map the world around us.
