Chernobyl. Last Day of Pripyat
published on Oct 13, 14
oil on canvas In a picture "Chernobyl. The last day of Pripyat" tragic events on the Chernobyl NPP are displayed on April 26, 1986. The subject of a cloth unites in itself three plots, three times. The central part - the moment of elimination of the begun fire after explosion of the reactor of the fourth power unit (fire-fighting crews and on a distance shot the staff of the CNPP). The right part (a plot in a circle) - mother at a window with the baby on hands. Evening in Pripyat - behind a window, at the horizon it is possible to see the CNPP some hours prior to explosion. The circular contour of a plot isn't casual, he repeats himself the Big wheel contour (which it is visible behind a window), only instead of booths on it – signs of radiation and the split atom. The left, lower part of a picture displays events of elimination of consequences of the Chernobyl accident of later time – miners at the time of creation of a tunnel, what to reach directly under the damaged reactor, for creation under it the special camera with liquid nitrogen (subsequently the given camera was concreted simply). In the foreground - the generalized image of the liquidator of accident, it can be both the military and the health worker, and the ordinary citizen who decided on assistance despite danger of death. The naked torso symbolizes vulnerability, fragility of the human life put on fight against a radioactive flame.
