Liquitex on metal // Zevs’s CCCP - Liquidated Hammer and Sickle presents a powerful reinterpretation of the iconic Soviet symbol, using his signature “liquidation” style to transform the hammer and sickle into a dripping, deconstructed image. Rendered in vibrant yellow against a bold red background, the once-solid symbol appears to melt, with liquefied drips running down, suggesting decay or dissolution. This mixed media piece, created with Liquitex on metal, carries strong political and historical connotations, challenging viewers to consider the legacy and transformation of ideologies over time. Zevs, known for his street art background and provocative approach, uses this piece to question permanence, identity, and the power of symbols in a rapidly changing world.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
