The subject of the text is to analyze the television code in paintings of Vasily Cagolov - a contemporary Ukrainian artist. The works of Cagolov are presented through the perspective of semiotics and analyzed in the context of today’s “spectacles of violence”. As the “spectacles of violence” the author understands all the cultural messages that concern violence, fear and pain, and shows them in the framework of “show”, directed to a mass audience. These are: films, computer games, certain sports and documentaries, as well as some literary genres (horror, thriller, crime) and art inspired by the code of such messages. In the article theoretical works were used. The authors of these works were: Boris Uspienski, Jurij Lotman. The author was also inspired by texts of Susan Sontag, Janusz Tazbir, Olek- sandr Soloviov. The author believes that contemporary paintings of Cagolov can be “read” as a cultural text that can be entered through the broader context of cultural phenomena.
