About the Item

Concert on the Roof is an archival digital pigment print on canvas, 24 x 48" canvas size, signed ‘Kondakova’ in the right corner and numbered in the left corner. Framed in a contemporary, gold-tone frame. From the total edition of 325; numbered 226/295 (there were also 25 AP and 5 HC). The unframed image is the edition number being sold and the framed image is an example of how the artwork is framed. Kondakova’s Concert on the Roof is magical realism in art. Paris is beautiful at any time of the day or year, but it is surely at its most magical in the twilight morning or evening hours of sunset or dawn. Here, Kondakova presents us with a fantastical view of the city with all its landmarks and monuments in an impossible but delightful arrangement. As the sun goes down, a band of angels conducts a concert over the famed Paris Opera. The masterful choice of colors and the play of light illuminate the enchanting concept. “At times, almost any visual tour-de-force seems possible in Kondakova’s inspired repertory of images; they seem to reflect an impossibly wonderful, but still quite concrete and visible, parallel universe. The sense of time, in the modern sense, is less important than atmosphere and emotion, which colors everything she shows in such disarmingly, diligently observed detail. One is persuaded that she is, in fact, rendering quite faithfully something actually before her, yet nothing is quite as it seems to other viewers, or even to the camera’s lens.” – Professor Sam Hunter (Liudmila Kondakova – A World of Enchantment)
