Olga Afanasiadi
Stillife with musical instruments

2019

About the Item

Horizontal composition made in oil on linen canvas in the modern style. Warm and bright colors with a predominance of red, black, blue and ochre. Made in several layers with high quality drying of each layer. The work is covered with glossy varnish, signed on both sides and ready for hanging. Does not require registration in the frame. Ideal for classic, minimalist, loft, modern and eclectic interiors. The artist is inspired by a monologue of one of the protagonists of the film called “Los Limits del Control”: Are you interested in music by chance? I believe that musical instruments, especially those made of wood - cellos, violins, guitars - I think they have sound, they tend to dream when they are not playing. Because they have memory. Every note that has ever been played with them is still in there. It has sounded in the wood molecules. I suppose, like everything, it is a perception problem. Anyway, the power to the musicians? To the music!

'Land of the Sleepwalker 05', Cubist Painting with Golds, Pinks, Blacks & Blues
By Nguyen The Hung
Located in Rye, NY
‘Land of the Sleepwalker 05’ is a large horizontal contemporary lacquer on wood panel “abstract figurative” painting created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen The Hung in 2017. Featuring a palette made of a variety of colors such as brown, red, black, yellow, blue and green accentuated with gold leaf, the painting presents a format that has a faux-air of Guernica revised by Miró. Painted on a dotted ground, two characters walk among a variety of creatures. We are in the land of the sleepwalker after all… Curves are perfectly balanced by straight lines; light browns oppose themselves to blacks and petite fluffy clouds seem to be falling on the ground. Colorful wandering clouds in Hung’s works are inspired by traditional cloud ornaments from Vietnam’s ancient citadels and temples. Those ancient ornaments act like a negative version of clouds wandering throughout the space of the pieces. They link together to create a limbo world, where matters become vague and surreal. Another level lies underneath, hiding deep below the clouds the artist has created realms of consciousness and thoughts. Hung, joyful and relaxed, plays around with his dots. Silver dots, golden dots, together they light up the atmosphere to create a passive aura. Ornamental clouds, or simply just dots, they move from one shape to another, unsettled trying to find a logical order for themselves to fit in therefore challenging viewers’ senses. The order of signs creates spaces of uncertainties and invalidities, where the artist’s stories would be tied together and unfold. Silently, the artist submerges himself into an imaginative valley with no boundaries of shapes, strokes, and of random visual connections. The dreamy artist tries to hold on to his childhood memories, from straw scarecrows, late afternoon birds, handmade kites, boys looking after horses in mountain...

'Autumn Clouds No. 1'
By Nguyen The Hung
Located in Rye, NY
‘Autumn Clouds No1’ is a large “abstract figurative” contemporary lacquer on wood panel painting of vertical format, created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen The Hung in 2017. Featuring a palette made of a variety of colors such as black, red, blue and green accentuated with gold leaf, this unframed painting exudes a surrealistic feel that would have made a Joan Miró proud. Painted on a dotted gold, dark green and black ground, a trapezoidal character is facing us. His head, reminiscent of medieval jesters and painted in yellow and red, has a cubist flair. Colorful clouds seem to be falling down the character’s garment and adorn the upper sections of the piece, while scintillating stars accentuate the rest of the composition. Colorful wandering clouds in Hung’s works are inspired by traditional cloud ornaments from Vietnam’s ancient citadels and temples. Those ancient ornaments act like a negative version of clouds wandering throughout the space of the pieces. They link together to create a limbo world, where matters become vague and surreal.
