- Description
A collectible painting, the artist’s semi-abstract reinterpretation of the modernist architecture of the famous British art centre in St Ives. The composition is built on a strict balance of dark contour lines, volumes and luminous atmosphere. The silhouette of the building in the center is dramatically cut by a deep violet diagonal of shadow. The coloring combines pastel-gray, light blue and white planes with accents of emerald, ultramarine and violet.
- Marks
On the front of the canvas is the artist’s monogram “AK 95”. On the reverse is an original extended inscription in ink directly on the canvas; a paper exhibition label with the artist’s personal seal (member of the Nika-kai) has been preserved.
