Under Ancient Clock is a compelling watercolour on paper by the distinguished Russian-Czech artist Eugene Ivanov, executed in 2007. Measuring 41.5 x 29.4 cm, this artwork is a fine example of Ivanov's ability to merge the structural rigour of Cubism with the atmospheric qualities of Expressionism. Presented by Stephenson's Gallery, the piece draws upon the artist's deep connection to Prague, a city renowned for its horological history and labyrinthine architecture, which often serves as a central protagonist in his work.
The composition invites the viewer into a fragmented, dream-like reality where time and space appear malleable. Characteristic of Ivanov's style, the imagery is deconstructed into geometric planes and angular facets, likely depicting a figure or street scene beneath a towering timekeeper—perhaps an allusion to the famous Prague Astronomical Clock. The use of watercolour allows for a subtle interplay of transparency and depth, softening the sharp architectural lines with fluid washes of colour that evoke a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time.

Presentation
Eugene Ivanov, born in 1966 in Tyumen, Siberia, is a distinguished Russian-Czech painter and illustrator whose work is celebrated for its unique fusion of modern and traditional themes. Ivanov's artistic journey is an authentic story of passion; after initially pursuing a degree in engineering-geophysics and working in the field for three years, he pivoted to follow his true calling. This unconventional path, which he has cultivated professionally since 1989, imbues his work with an exceptional sense of dedication and originality.
Ivanov has been a prominent figure in the Prague art scene since 1998, where his work captures the city's old-world charm through a surrealistic lens. His paintings draw from the expressive traditions of Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism, creating dream-like compositions that explore the unconscious. Alongside his celebrated canvases, Ivanov has enjoyed a prolific career as a book illustrator, lending his distinctive vision to over 200 titles. This includes illustrated editions of works by literary giants such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Franz Kafka. Ivanov has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and has successfully participated in major UK art fairs and exhibitions, solidifying his strong reputation among international collectors.
