Contemporary art is a contradictory phenomenon. It gives occasion to
admiration, blame, discussions, but never leaves anybody indifferent. You may
participate in the process of creation or just enjoy the results of the
artistic practice – at all accounts, art is an essential part of your life.
Theatre, cinema, sculpture, architecture, dance and a dozen of other art
forms surround us and follow in our everyday activities. Painting, drawing and
other types of visual arts are the most popular and widespread in the circle of
modern art customers. Pictures (originals or copies), prints, sketches, photo
prints and other related items decorate our living and working space, create a
unique atmosphere and prove your good artistic taste.
A
bit of my obsessions
Decorating interior of my own house, I always give preference to those paintings
that make me think. Modern abstract art is a good choice for this. Each
painting from my collection is a certain state of mind, separate story. If you
are my guest, you’ll definitely notice that there is no more than one piece of
abstract wall art in each room in my house. It was made on purpose: I try to
avoid blending of these “stories” and “thoughts”.
Does it look like I’m quite obsessed with this kind of art? I do not deny
that. Frankly speaking, “modern abstract art for sale” is the most frequently
used keyword at latest (Google must disdain me for that, definitely). It is
what it is! But it does not mean that modern and abstract art are the same
notion for me. In addition to my love and devotion to abstract art, I have a
lot of examples of different modern styles of painting. For instance, there are
four canvases created by Leonid Afremov, a splendid impressionist who prefers a rich
color range and often works with oil and palette knife.
So here they are:
- His
beautiful cityscape “Cannes – France” adorns my living room. I almost feel
that special warmth of the south coast evening on my skin while entering
the room, I swear!
- Two
Afremov’s paintings – “Blue Rhapsody” and “Stevie Ray Vaughan” – make a
brilliant duo in my dining room. They radiate energy and put some pep into
me. It is a pure state of satisfaction and inspiration depicted on canvas.
I adore it!
- “Surrounded by Music” is the
jewel in the crown of my collection. Cynical and grumbling though I am, I
tingle with excitement while watching ballet. For certain, there is some
kind of magic in this classic dance.
You can find all
these paintings and much more in the artist’s official online gallery at
afremov.com. Take my word, your interior design will benefit tremendously!
