In Evening Shift, Dmitry Kustanovich presents the industrial city as a setting of continuous human activity. Interwoven rooftops, chimneys and cranes form a layered panorama, where the measured rhythms of industrial structures meet the shifting evening sky. Cool silvery lilacs contrast with the warm glow of windows, setting the scale of the built environment against an unseen human presence. The large format, 140 cm wide by 100 cm high, lends the scene a monumental character. Within Kustanovich’s spatial realism, the urban subject becomes less a record of a particular place than a reflection on time, labour and the inner life of the contemporary city.
