Provenance
Felix Landau Gallery LA
Andre Previn Private Collection
Painted in 1961 the year East German authorities begin the construction of the Berlin Wall permanently closing off access to the West for the next 28 years. As the picture can suggest the red wall has just fallen like a large concrete hand sign comes swinging down from above, hitting ground at angle speed and with a deafening sound strikes out the western front. The music stops. Exit the music conductor Walking Against a Red Wall. His arms crossed firmly above his waist. An emerald green tailcoat worn tightly like the straps on a straitjacket. A mixture of hope and stupor. With a clenched jaw he looks away leaving behind the music score, his conductor’s baton firmly held in his hands.

«Self portrait» Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting on Canvas, 2017 Expressionism
By Julia Kiryanova
Located in Oslo, NO
For Julia Kiryanova, painting is a dialogue – a dialogue which she beautifully facilitates, layering her work with various techniques.
At the heart of much of her work an inherent fascination for people lies, intimately displaying abandoned figures seemingly floating in an abstract dream world, where time has stopped everything, but them.
Julia Kiryanova has exhibited work at Amsterdam museum, Museum Op Solder and The Holocaust Museum...
