About the Item

"Reading a Book" by Irina Yermolova captures the essence of pondering and wonderment through the graceful depiction of a woman laid horizontally in a classic life drawing position, her back turned to the viewer. The curves of her body serve as a visual journey, leading the eye along a path of contemplation and introspection.
Painted with warm tones that envelop the canvas, the woman's form exudes a sense of quiet elegance and timeless beauty. Brush strokes juxtapose against the softness of her skin, creating a captivating interplay of texture and form that adds depth to the composition.
At the heart of the painting lies a meditation on the grace of the female form, comparing its innate elegance to the beauty of pondering and wonderment. As the viewer gazes upon the woman's contemplative pose, they are invited to reflect on the depth and complexity of human emotion and experience.
Signed by the artist, "Reading a Book" showcases Irina Yermolova's mastery in capturing the delicate nuances of the human form and the profound emotions it can convey. This exquisite artwork is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, offering viewers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the timeless allure of the female figure and the wonder it inspires.
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.
