About the Item
FIGURE IN BLUE
Size: 48.5 x 42.5 cm (including frame)
Acrylic on card
A striking mid-century modernist abstract figurative painting that presents a seated figure rendered in deep, expressive shades of blue and green, executed in acrylic onto card.
The figure, loosely defined with minimal facial features, appears to lean against a structure – possibly a chair or a window ledge – exuding a contemplative or introspective mood.
The artist has used a bold and gestural approach, characteristic of mid-century abstraction, with broad, sweeping brushstrokes that create movement and depth. The composition is dominated by a cool colour palette of blues, teals, and emerald greens, punctuated by lighter areas that suggest illumination.
The contrast between dark, shadowy areas and lighter highlights enhances the sense of atmosphere, while the figure’s simplified form retains an element of mystery and ambiguity.
This acrylic on card is framed behind glass, and is presented within a card mount. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Mixed Media on Board
Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame)
A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.
Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...

Thirst- woman with the straw in wine-colored, brown and beige
By Igor Fomin
Located in Fort Lee, NJ
The hero at this painting is a human. His eyes are a lenses that artist using. At all time they are together, a man and a woman. Duality of differences, two views, different accents, but in one wholeness. Fomin is a fairy-tale artist, a romance teller, who is choosing never ending life stories for a viewer. He is telling these stories with realistic language of the artist, citing the language of Bruegel sentimental sincerity of Chagall, but also a precise coloristic scheme, that was a signature of French Art in the second half of XX century.
The fantastic World of the artist is perfectly detailed that makes it truthful. This artistic language principle defined the style of the artist long before he entered the Art World market. His love for Italian Renaissance was born in Minsk during his study years. Art, Music and Architecture made Igor Fomin...
