2017

About the Item

In the Bedroom (A girl with a comb) - naive art, folk art, primitivism, made in red, blue, green, brown, pink colors. Elena Narkevich deliberately chooses naive art, like the famous artists Henri Rousseau and Niko Pirosmani, as their visual discourse, which is an ideal means for expressing and recreating a world in which happiness, humor, naivety, love and tranquility reign, all those broad spectra emotional states that reach us in pure form. Scenes from everyday life that take place in homes, in parks, at fairs, markets, make her narrative works something illustrative, without losing the quality of painting. Each scene (which tells and makes us dream in colors) is replete with small details, ornaments and skill (game) of color, which reveals the artist as an observant and very sensitive person, able to show in his works that sincere reality and (positive) attitude to to the person the artist wants to convey. The spectator, contemplating Helen's paintings, is fascinated by the balance of pure, peaceful art (filled with sincerity and tenderness). As Matisse said that "I dream of a balanced art, full of purity and tranquility, art without vain and restless plots, art that could rest the mind of an intellectual worker, business person, writer, just like a comfortable chair gives rest to a physically tired person." Elena Narkevich – master naive style, her work is known in Europe thanks to the ability to truly convey human emotions, delight, surprise, and sometimes sadness. Yelena was born in Minsk in 1964 and for many years she and her husband, also an artist Igor Fomin live in the province of Malaga, Spain. Igor was born in 1963 in Minsk. She is a perfect example naïf art from various countries of the former USSR, its contemporary primitives – another name for naïf painting – tend to reflect the excellent quality, as is demonstrated by the prizes which were awarded at the Naïf Competition of the Spanish Association of Painters and Sculptors. Elena Narkevich is an Eloquent example of this, whose painting we have recently seen in Spain and was very well received by collectors. Her exhibitions in Malaga, Madrid, Granada, etc… followed by Arte Santander and Interart Valencia through the services of the Sammer Gallery have represented a real discovery.

  • Desires 1
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    The painting titled "Desires 1" is a beautiful work of art that depicts two women sitting across from each other, engaged in what seems to be a deep and meaningful conversation. The painting, created by Esinulo Chiamaka Praise, features an older woman and a younger woman, each holding a white flower, which adds a sense of purity and serenity to the scene. The older woman, who appears to be in his 50s, and the younger woman, who looks to be in his 20s, are both dressed in a more simple dress. Both women are seated on chairs, with their faces turned towards each other in a relaxed yet focused manner. The title of the painting, "Desires 1," adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene, as it hints at the possibility of underlying desires and motivations between the two women. However, the painting does not provide any clear answers or indications of what those desires might be, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. Wisdom is gathered from lessons learned from experiences. Time and age guide a man through life as regards choices or wants... One possible interpretation of the painting is that it represents the passing of knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next. The older woman appears to be sharing something with the younger woman, who listens intently and respectfully. The white flowers that both women are holding could be seen as symbols of purity and innocence, representing the purity of the knowledge and wisdom being shared. What you want today may not be what you would want tomorrow, wants change with time. Experiences and age have an influence on choices. Responsibilities are given with time. What is your desire now? Another interpretation of the painting is that it represents a deep and meaningful conversation between two people who share a close and intimate relationship. The fact that both women are holding white flowers suggests a sense of purity and love between them, while their relaxed and focused expressions indicate a sense of comfort and ease in each other's presence. In terms of technique, the painting is expertly executed, with rich colors and intricate details that bring the scene to life. Keating's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, while the placement of the two men in the center of the painting draws the viewer's attention to their faces and the emotions that are portrayed in them. Overall, "Desires 3" is a beautiful and thought-provoking painting that captures the essence of a deep and meaningful conversation between two people. It is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection, leaving the viewer with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the motivations and desires of the two women in the painting.
