Elusive Question - Ink and Watercolor Drawing on Paper in Green and Blue Colors

$ 1,200
  • Description
    Andrei Petrov's Elusive Question is a 15 x 22 inch abstract ink and watercolor drawing on paper.
    It is a lyric abstraction in green with accents of blue. This precious drawing stands out for his effect of inner luminosity created by the use of very light green and blue colors. Petrov's work has often strong references to nature and country landscapes.

    Andrei Petrov is an American Artist of Russian origins. He lives and works in New York. He states "In my approach two roads are taken: a natural, Hudson River School path of light and drama filled grandeur that encounters energetic animated gestures, muscular surfaces, and bold strokes familiar in Abstract Expressionism.Beneath numerous glazes and opalescent layers swaths of paint dash about this stage and often emerge from the lower depths of which there are many levels.
    Freezing the action allows a probing slow-motion breakdown of the components that comprise the canvas. Think of a frozen lake: leaves, twigs, nuts, fish are all suspended in ice at different depths and angles.
    Piercing the surface, thick islets of paint interrupt a placid color field and create vast non-linear perspective from the root to the fruit of the gesture. Tension is created by the juxtaposition of animated bursts of paint with the slow contemplative layering found in paintings of the Hudson River School. The invitation to explore this amber-like world is now extended. Sometimes the brush is mightier than the pen."
