About the Item
'Purple Rain' by Yuriy Zakordonets is a stunning minimalist pink abstract painting inspired by a song of Prince and Revolution 'Purple Rain'. Prince explained the meaning of "Purple Rain" as follows: "When there's blood in the sky – red and blue = purple... - purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain." It is one of the most conceptual and at the same time minimalist works by the artist. The square shape also invites for contemplation offering a balanced and unbiased atmosphere.
It is an original unique art piece that is in excellent condition (new). It is shipped along with a Certificate of Authenticity, signed and dated by the artist. You will receive the painting rolled up in a tube. Additional framing or setting up on wooden support is required.
Yuriy Zakordonets has a very peculiar style. He has worked with different materials: wood, metal, and canvas—but also leather, which almost became his signature, like a “proof of origin” of his art. Ukraine is a country where farming is very well integrated into the economy. Many people have (or used to have) connections to rural life. And leather is somewhat a symbol of stability, original crafts, local business, hard work... His works include elements of cave paintings; lines are soft, human bodies are rather symbolic and tattooed and images are graphic. They remind us of ancient alphabets. The lines create a labyrinth, a maze where you can easily get lost… His work amazes us by its aesthetic as well as its power of traditional art. It is authentic and it has decorative magic.
His art career started in the early 1980s when he took part in various exhibitions dedicated to painting, graphics, and design as an artist, coordinator, and curator. Since then, over the years, Yuriy has successfully combined multiple art community leadership roles with his personal exhibitions which took place in Odessa (Ukraine), Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), Chicago (US). His artworks are included in private collections in Europe, Australia, Asia, the US, and Africa.

Entitled "Study for Tarantula Nebula," this painting by Chicago-based artist Jan Pieter Fokkens offers a representation of the gigantic star-forming region of the same name. Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, nearly 160,000 light years from earth, it's the birthplace of an astonishing number of massive stars, some roughly 100 times the mass of the Sun.
