Andrei Petrov
A Few Sweet Words

2019

About the Item

This lyric abstraction with intense red and a multitude of shades of green is an intensely passionate and poetic compositions by Petrov. The reference to a natural landscape is clearly there and one can't help to make connections with the work by Claude Monet. The play of transparencies, brushstrokes and lights brings to life a deeply emotional composition where the strong cardinal red vertical stripe gives a theatrical accent, as a curtain opening over a theater's scenography. 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."
