Euphoria in art is a feeling of joy, ecstasy, satisfaction and delight that occurs as a result of perceiving an artistic creation or performing a work of art. This is caused by various aspects of the work, such as the harmony of the melody, the performance, the rhythm, the color combinations. Euphoria in art is an intense and emotional feeling that can inspire, help you feel connected to the world and find new sources of inspiration. That's exactly what this piece of art in combination with Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" should evoke. This abstraction has sharp, yet precise, bright strokes. For each, such a contrasting palette should give an individual feeling, viewing the complete triptych of three paintings "Euphoria", "Ecstasy" and "Enlightenment", the viewer must choose his own sequence.

Concept

The painting "Euphoria" by the outstanding Ukrainian artist Anatoliy Kost. The painting was painted in 1996 in the artist's Volyn workshop and was presented at many exhibitions. First of all, this painting belongs to the Collection of Six Paintings and to the "Dao" Triptych.

The artist adheres to the concept of the process of transmuting the energy of abstract art into the energy of music or choreography and vice versa, emphasizing their mutual polyphonic nature. Masterpieces of world musical classics and choreography are a significant factor in the inspiration of his work, which became the basis for defining a personal philosophical direction in abstraction, namely contemp-abstraction (a plastic representation of his inner state). Anatoliy Kost used the slogan ArtHouse abstraction as a category of artistic form of communication with the viewer, through the formalization of the concept of Viѕiozong, as an illustrated accompaniment to a musical or choreographic action.
