About the Item
"The Carnival is Over: Night, King Lear" by Igor Samsonov is an Oil on Canvas painting measuring 45.5x59 and is a prime colorful example of figurative surrealism at its finest. His deep blue and orange color pallet helps set the mood of the story he is trying to tell. This series of three paintings with the one common title "The Carnival is Over," the actors have just performed. The king is embracing a tube that looks like a wheelchair to emphasize his weakness and inability to rule the kingdom. Samsonov’s work is extremely modern, yet remains classical. His paintings are rich with symbolism and tell stories--some well-known, others created by Samsonov himself. He is particularly interested in the themes of transformation and power.
Igor Samsonov was born in Voronezh, Russia in 1963. After earning a degree in mathematics from Voronezh State University, Samsonov began a job at the Institute of Research. Though he enjoyed math’s abstract side, he soon grew tired of mundane projects and routine formulas. He could no longer waste his artistic soul working a nine-to-five office job that he disliked. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh, Samsonov left his job after one year and applied to the exclusive Ilya Repin Leningrad Institute for Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. He was accepted in 1990 and had the great opportunity to study under some of the finest painters in Russia, including Oleg Eremeev, who was a great influence on him. From Eremeev, Samsonov learned the concept of “total art,” which says that an art piece is more than just the sum of its parts—that it must have the artist’s emotional signature. Samsonov began to understand that each painting must have a meaning, a personal message, an identity that would tell its audience, “This is a Samsonov!” He graduated from Repin in 1997. While influenced by great masters such as Francesca, Vermeer, Bosch, Rouseau, Gauguin, and Matisse, Samsonov has also developed his own unique style. He has now had paintings in exhibitions in Russia, Europe, and the U.S, and he continues to grow and evolve as an artist, always aspiring to create pure and total art.

Igor Samsonov
Igor Samsonov is a contemporary painter born in Voronezh, Russia, on January 7, 1963. His paintings have been in exhibitions in Russia, Europe and the U.S. He is known to have his own modern take on Classical Realism while also being influenced by Renaissance, Dutch Renaissance and Post-Impressionist artists. Samsonov initially decided on a career in mathematics and earned the equivalent of a master's degree from Voronezh State University. He accepted a job with the Institute of Research but found himself more and more drawn back to art, especially after viewing some of Van Gogh's paintings at the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
