Alexander Markovich
Untitled

About the Item

This refined ink on paper work was realized by the renowned American artist Alexander Markovich circa 1985, which the scholar Svetlana Rakic called "The most dispersed and energy-charged of Markovich's ink paintings..." Using an expressionistic style, full of verve, Markovich creates an image of a solitary figure in "hieroglyphic form" seemingly in the midst of an ecstatic dance. The intentional ink splatters and wispy strokes (suggestive of calligraphic scroll paintings) imbue the piece with a dynamic energy that echoes the figure's movement. With its economy of form and timelessly modern sensibility, Markovich showcases his ability to create a compelling image with minimalist means. This stunning piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. The piece comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent condition. American, circa 1985 Dimensions: Frame: 16.75"H x 16.75"W x 1"D Sheet: 13"W X 13"D
