Anatoly Kost
"After the Holidays"

2014

About the Item

Anatoly Kost “After the Holidays” 2014 y. Canvas.Oil. Painting Flat: 65/55 cm. Framed: 69/59 cm. This work is part of the triptych “Shiroka Maslyana”, a series dedicated to the vibrant, age-old festival of Maslenitsa, a celebration of farewell to winter and the welcoming of spring. While the other pieces in the triptych capture the joy and dynamism of the festivities, "After the Holidays" explores the quiet aftermath—a moment of reflection, nostalgia, and transition. Concept Created in 2014, this painting showcases Anatoly Kost’s mastery of contemp-abstraction, where movement and stillness merge into a contemplative composition. The subdued palette, dominated by soft blues, warm ochres, and subtle whites, contrasts with the more dynamic strokes, suggesting the lingering warmth of celebration fading into memory. The sun, glowing faintly in the upper part of the canvas, hints at the cyclical nature of time—the festival ends, but its energy remains. Through bold yet calculated brushstrokes, Kost conveys the essence of transition, the contrast between festive chaos and quiet solitude, movement and stillness. The abstraction allows viewers to interpret their own emotions within the work, as they recall the fleeting moments of joy that define celebrations. As part of the triptych "Shiroka Maslyana", this painting has been exhibited alongside its counterparts, highlighting Kost’s unique ability to capture cultural traditions through the language of modern abstraction. A significant collector’s piece, it serves as a visual meditation on the passage of time, memory, and renewal.
