Paul Kupelian
Pergolese 1 (Acrylic Painting)

2023

About the Item

Paul Kupelian’s Pergolese 1 is a vibrant interior scene that blends intimacy with narrative complexity. Executed in acrylic on canvas, the work measures 150 x 100 cm and exemplifies Kupelian’s signature style—flat yet dynamic compositions that embrace both naïve and modernist sensibilities. The title likely refers to Rue Pergolèse in Paris, evoking a sense of place that feels both personal and universal. Kupelian’s attention to detail is immediately striking: the geometric parquet flooring, the bright textiles, and the curated bookshelves rich with references to art history—Basquiat, Hockney, Hopper, Picasso—suggest a collector’s eye and a deep reverence for visual culture. This visual layering creates a scene that is not merely decorative but introspective, inviting the viewer to step into the life of an unseen inhabitant. The perspective, seen through partially open French doors, adds depth and frames the composition like a stage, heightening the sense of voyeuristic curiosity. The clean lines, saturated palette, and architectural precision make Pergolese 1 both joyful and sophisticated. This work stands out for its narrative richness and refined execution—qualities that make it a compelling acquisition for collectors interested in contemporary figurative painting with a distinctive, cosmopolitan voice.
