Anatoly Kost
"Grape wine"

2006

About the Item

Anatoly Kost “Grape wine” 2006 y. Canvas.Oil. Painting Flat: 65/70,5 cm. Framed: 69/74,5 cm. "Grape Wine" is a vibrant exploration of form, color, and symbolism, where Anatoly Kost transforms everyday objects into a dynamic interplay of abstraction and narrative. Three bottle-like silhouettes dominate the composition, their contours dissolving into a background of bold geometric shapes and expressive color fields. The contrast between the rich, warm reds and oranges and the deep, cool blues creates a sense of both balance and tension—an echo of the dualities inherent in art and life. The fragmented interior of the leftmost bottle reveals an inner world of fluid shapes, evoking the organic nature of wine itself—a substance that embodies time, tradition, and transformation. The middle and right bottles stand as solid, almost monolithic forms, suggesting themes of memory, preservation, and absence. Through his signature ArtHouse abstraction style, Kost invites the viewer into a visual dialogue where color and form transcend mere representation, becoming vessels for deeper philosophical contemplation. Concept Painted in 2006 in Anatoly Kost’s Volyn workshop, Grape Wine is part of the artist’s ongoing engagement with everyday objects as metaphors for cultural and existential inquiry. In this piece, the act of wine-making—steeped in history and ritual—becomes a symbol of artistic creation itself. The painting has been exhibited in various contemporary collections, reflecting its timeless appeal and intellectual depth. As a key figure in the "contemp-abstraction" movement, Kost masterfully combines structural precision with expressive spontaneity. His work is not merely visual but conceptual, offering layered interpretations that resonate with collectors seeking both aesthetic and intellectual engagement. An essential addition to any modern collection, Grape Wine encapsulates the essence of transformation, making it an evocative centerpiece for interiors that embrace bold color, dynamic composition, and contemporary abstraction.
