Is the glass half full or half empty? The age-old question that separates optimists and pessimists. And the artist Ivan Puig slightly alters this age-old problem. He makes one wonder whether the objects depicted in his photographs are half-drowned or half-surfaced.
Two of his photographs on this topic depict chairs that have gone underground and only the upper part of the cabin is a car peeping out of an unknown substance.
When creating these works, Ivan Pugh, according to him, was motivated by the desire to show the illusory and imperfection of the world. With photographs of chairs drowning in the sidewalk, he wanted to draw public attention to the difficulties of the educational system. And photographs with an almost sunken car on a huge number of victims of car accidents.
Although, of course, these messages of his to an ordinary person are completely incomprehensible, not readable. But as a test for identifying pessimists and optimists, these works by Ivan Pyug are very good.

The work of expressionist artists is a mystery that is so difficult to solve, and the images they create are so multifaceted and contradictory that, looking at them, there is a place for imagination to roam. The emphasis on colors, broken lines and torn strokes is only a small part of what, from the very first seconds, attracts the viewer's attention, drawing him into the eccentric world of art, where everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance, because each painting has its own story , and each artist has his own unsurpassed
