Ecstasy, 1996

Anatoly Kost  

This picture is a transformation of music on canvas, so it is accompanied by:

Visiomix - Joe Cocker "You Can Leave Your Hat On".

Ecstasy in art is a feeling of unearthly rapture, ecstatic delight and rapture that arises in the viewer who perceives an artistic creation. Ecstasy in art can be a relatively intense and emotional feeling that can inspire, change your mood and help you feel in tune with the world and find new sources of inspiration. This is an important factor for a creator who aspires to create something new and original that evokes similar emotions in the viewer. This abstraction evokes unique sensations precisely when accompanied by Joe Cocker's compositions. Sharp and impulsive strokes allow you to feel the state of the artist while writing. The very concept of "Abstraction" enables one's own opinion about the painting and the entire Triptych of three paintings "Euphoria", "Ecstasy" and "Enlightenment".

Concept

The painting "Ecstas" 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, which was presented at the exhibition in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

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. 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 (a composition of several works), as an illustrated accompaniment to a musical or choreographic action.
