Notable Exception

Creator: Andrei Petrov
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Luminosity and strong color contrasts are often the guidelines for Petrov's painting's compositions. For this square painting the dark fracture braking through the canvas vertically creates a powerful presence dividing the gentle luminous white atmospheric surface on the left from the dark purple on the right. As it is often the case for Petrov's work, references to nature and natural elements always glimpse through.

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.
