Andrei Petrov
Pride and Joy - Long Abstract Landscape Oil Painting with Dark Colors

2014

About the Item

Andrei Petrov's "Pride and Joy" is a 12 x 48 inch abstract landscape painting on canvas. The main colors are blue, purple, and orange. The reference to a natural landscape is clearly there, with two small figures giving a scale to the surrounding space. Petrov works by applying layers of paint and then scraping off some parts to reveal the shades underneath. The play of transparencies, brushstrokes and lights brings to life an emotional composition where the strong chiaroscuro gives a theatrical accent. In this piece a thousands layers of blue and purple hues play their magic against a warm orange color. As when looking at a landscape, the reading is multidimensional and the mood is set by the viewer. Andrei Petrov is an American Artist of Russian origins. He lives and works in New York. He states "In my approach two roads are taken: a natural, Hudson River School path of light and drama filled grandeur that encounters energetic animated gestures, muscular surfaces, and bold strokes familiar in Abstract Expressionism.Beneath numerous glazes and opalescent layers swaths of paint dash about this stage and often emerge from the lower depths of which there are many levels. Freezing the action allows a probing slow-motion breakdown of the components that comprise the canvas. Think of a frozen lake: leaves, twigs, nuts, fish are all suspended in ice at different depths and angles. Piercing the surface, thick islets of paint interrupt a placid color field and create vast non-linear perspective from the root to the fruit of the gesture. Tension is created by the juxtaposition of animated bursts of paint with the slow contemplative layering found in paintings of the Hudson River School. The invitation to explore this amber-like world is now extended. Sometimes the brush is mightier than the pen."

    Parris Jaru's Building Babylon is a 48 x 36 inches oil painting. The main colors are blue, yellow and brown.
