Space V

Description

Author: Zhumanov, Esimgali. 1946
An abstract composition of a cosmic character. Against a dark blue-black background, diverse rounded forms are scattered, ranging from large spheres volume-rendered with impasto brushwork to minute, dotted flecks. The larger ones are modeled with thick, relief strokes, featuring silver-grey and bluish highlights. The background is painted in broad glazing planes of dark blue and black. The composition is built on the contrast between textured, almost sculptural objects and the flat, deep space of the background, creating a sense of infinity.
