Long Way Home - Abstract Landscape on Paper in Blue and Purple Colors 2012

Creator: Andrei Petrov
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Andrei Petrov is an American Artist of Russian origins. His paintings are the expression of his lifelong struggle to retain memories of his childhood and life.
He writes: "As a child I was involved in an accident that affected my memory and compelled me to paint. Ever since, I have been trying to reclaim what I lost through my work. These paintings probe the distortion, incompleteness and rare moments of clarity in the shadows of memory.
Each piece portrays the intrinsic struggle and selective inclusion or exclusion of details in the process of recollection. At times, sharpness occurs in the rear of the picture plane while the out of focus, obscured areas, exist in a larger scale toward the foreground and make reference to the inscrutable nature of long and short term memory."
This precious small work is one of those where Petrov's abstract landscapes have a more figurative accent, outlining shapes of what seems to be luscious tropical flowers in a countryside. The intensity of the blue and purple hues certainly adds to the exotic flavor of this work.
