About the Item
Nature is often the inspiration for many abstract painters as it gives them the opportunity to have a figurative reference that can be easily re-interpreted into an abstraction. For this small artwork of Petrov the reference is clear both in the title, Full Bloom, and the composition. However, as it is often the case in his paintings, the elements that are more figurative have always a transient quality, as if they have been photographed while in motion. The flower, the leaves, are there but not quite. Almost fading out as they come to the surface. The delicate, almost transparent, green and purple water colors add to the transient impression of the composition.
Andrei Petrov is an American Artist of Russian origins. His paintings are the expression of his lifelong struggle to retain memories of his childhood and life.
He writes: "As a child I was involved in an accident that affected my memory and compelled me to paint. Ever since, I have been trying to reclaim what I lost through my work. These paintings probe the distortion, incompleteness and rare moments of clarity in the shadows of memory.
Each piece portrays the intrinsic struggle and selective inclusion or exclusion of details in the process of recollection. At times, sharpness occurs in the rear of the picture plane while the out of focus, obscured areas, exist in a larger scale toward the foreground and make reference to the inscrutable nature of long and short term memory."
