Winter music, 2017

Anatoly Kost  

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

Visiomix- Astor Piazzolla "Libertango", entitled "Libertango, in achromatic tones". Also, the painting belongs to the triptych, which includes two more paintings from the collection, "Winter Movement" and "Blizzard".

For some viewers, abstraction can be a way to express their inner states, emotions or concepts, independent of the real world. The artist uses abstraction as a means of creating new aesthetic experiences or evoking thoughts and reflections in the audience. The color of the painting "Winter Music" mainly consists of cold shades - white, blue, gray, which conveys the cold and cool atmosphere of winter. But the viewer stops their gaze at the red, pronounced brush stroke. It is this strip accompanied by the composition "Libertango" that allows you to get a sharp feeling like movement in a dance. Since the musical composition itself is a symbol of the transition from classical tango to nuevo, in combination with the understanding of the color scheme and chaotic brushstrokes, the very abstract idea of the artist shines through. Thanks to the effect of dynamics and circular motion, you can see exactly winter movement in the picture, which is accompanied by an icy feeling of coolness.

Concept

The painting "Winter music" by the outstanding Ukrainian artist Anatoliy Kost. The picture was painted in 2017 in the artist's Volyn workshop and was presented at many exhibitions. First of all, this picture belongs to the Triptych "Libertango in Achromatic Tones", which was presented at the exhibition in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

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.
