About this artwork

"Inside the brick" is an original painting from my series "Lego world", which explores our connection with childhood, the culture of mass toys and what is hidden behind the facade of familiar images.

This image reveals the inner world of the iconic lego figure - literally and metaphorically. Every day we "assemble ourselves" from separate parts: social roles, memories, identities. Like a designer, inside us there is a skeleton of a structure that… is not visible from the outside, but which holds us together.

The bright background emphasizes the contrast between the cheerful childish shell and the deep, even anatomical truth. In a world where everything seems plastic and flawlessly smooth, this work reminds us: even in the simplest object - there is a story, an inner world, vulnerability.

This work is also an ironic commentary on modern consumerism, when even the human body becomes stylized, unified, modular.
In "Inside the brick," humor borders on philosophy.

Bogdan Shiptenko is a contemporary Ukrainian artist born in 1994 in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. He works primarily with watercolor, acrylic, and graphic media, focusing on figurative painting and urban themes. He holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts and has over 15 years of professional artistic practice, with more than 10 years of international sales.

Shiptenko’s work explores the relationship between people and the urban environment — architecture, streets, cafés, and the everyday rhythm of city life. His distinctive style combines expressive watercolor and dynamic multi-figure compositions, capturing both the energy of crowds and moments of quiet solitude.

A central part of his practice is the long-term series People on the White, which reflects on contemporary urban society, human routines and overconsumption set against minimalist white backgrounds. Bogdan Shiptenko has participated in numerous exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad, his works are held in private collections worldwide.
