This piece is built from simple, almost utilitarian forms: circles, stripes, black and white fields. It looks like a kind of marking, signal, or warning, but without a clear addressee. The phrase “Be afraid for your painting” doesn’t sound like a slogan — more like an inner comment, a doubt, a moment of anxiety. The work speaks about the artist’s state within a system where art is constantly tested for relevance, format, and safety. There’s no answer here and no instruction — just a recorded tension between gesture, space, and the fear of losing the right to one’s own painting.

About the artist

The artistic path of Dima Wesko in graffiti began in 2006, at the age of seven, after his first encounter with photographs from a graffiti jam. From the very beginning, it was a conscious choice rather than a random hobby. His style was shaped not by specific names, but by visual experience, an academic foundation, and an understanding of graphics, dynamics, and composition. Over time, Dima Wesko moved beyond lettering, shifting toward canvas works, abstraction, and conceptual art. His works are exhibited annually at the Palace of Arts of the Republic of Belarus. He regularly places among the top three winners of various graffiti battles and has been ranked in the top 20 artists of the Republic of Belarus. At the same time, he views graffiti as a closed internal culture — a game with its own rules. In his approach, there is a clear distinction between graffiti and street art as different forms. Yet on the street, style always remains more important than any message. The gallery is proud to collaborate with the artist for the authenticity of his path and his strong, consistent visual style.
