About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. With a fearless approach to abstraction, Let It Fail 3 exudes raw emotion and expressive freedom. The gestural strokes and dripping layers of paint create a striking tension between structure and dissolution, as the figure seems to emerge from—and simultaneously dissolve into—the surrounding space. Yermolova’s distinctively bold brushwork suggests a fleeting moment of movement, capturing a sense of vulnerability and power within the same frame. Executed in oil on canvas, the palette in this piece is dominated by fiery reds, oranges, and soft beiges, contrasted against muted, neutral backgrounds. The intensity of the reds is heightened by the loose application of paint, lending the work a feeling of spontaneity and immediacy. There’s a deliberate chaos to the way the pigments blend and drip, reinforcing the theme of surrender and imperfection, making the title all the more fitting. Signed and ready to display, Let It Fail 3 invites the viewer to embrace imperfection and fluidity. It is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist Bio: Ukranian Iryna Yermolova was born in 1978. She is a contemporary painter of fluid, luminous and intuitive figurative artworks on canvas and moved to the UK in 2005. Her career began in an entirely different sphere: economics and graphic design. She credits oil painting with entirely transforming her life and outlook, allowing her to explore sensations that words and numbers can only hint at. She currently lives and works in Dorset. Combining her Ukrainian upbringing with a creative drive inspired by the English countryside, Iryna Yermolova presents bold yet sensitive studies with a confident style and striking use of light and colour. In her most recent body of work, her powerful imagery is greatly influenced by her formative years and the iconography surrounding orthodox religion; dreamlike compositions of youthful figures merge with the inner-self and ideas surrounding identity, culture and myth as well as a more personal journey, that of an artist, mother and woman. Her seductive portraits feature powerful brushwork and effortless integrity. Real, fleeting moments are imbued with emotion in each stroke of oil paint. The artist is more likely to reach for a palette knife than her brushes and enjoys experimenting with texture and mixed media. With a background in graphic design, the subject of her pieces becomes secondary importance as she prioritises creating a harmonious composition and colour scheme. These undulating studies appear to unravel as the viewer tries to grasp the image, engaging with themes of ephemerality and transience. A regular exhibitor at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ annual show at the Mall Galleries in London, she has been an integral member of the Paragon stable for seven years.
