On now: Blue-Yellow Series Gutsulyak.Studio

The Blue-Yellow Series of posters explores Ukrainian identity through individual interpretations of state symbols, particularly the flag. Since the beginning of the war, many Ukrainians worldwide have subconsciously started noticing any possible combinations of blue and yellow in everyday life. The colors are perceived as a sign of support, togetherness, and hope. They are gaining new meanings and giving people strength to resist. The poster series delves into the search for a new Ukraine and the Ukrainians' place in the modern world. "When no colors are left, the Ukrainian flag is still waving" is the project's central message. The posters represent the flag colors in various ways: as wavelengths of blue and yellow light, as chemical formulas of the most common pigments like Prussian blue and Cadmium yellow, as wildflowers like periwinkle and dandelion, as gestures of sign language, as icons for colorblind people, and as formulas for process printing or digital devices.
