Ended Original Oil on Canvas Painting OOB Listed Russian Artist Vyosilieva Contemporary OOC Clown Russian Surrealism

This is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. It is framed and signed by Vyosilieva. This skilled painter of the contemporary Russian tradition uses whimsical imagery derived from folklore, to evoke a surreal allegory in her works. Her imaginative figures and landscape are tied together always by her technical discipline and control of her medium. This particular piece depicts a forlorn clown and an ethereal beauty, juxtaposed on a desolate country landscape, interrupted only by a villa on the horizon. The piece is dominated by these two figures, whose relationship to each other is ambiguous, the artist only hints at a natural understanding, a dialogue punctuated by a solitary sapling, and a single flower sprouting from an uncertain landscape. This piece comes set in an impressive solid wood frame It measures 20 inches wide by 24 inches long. 25 x 29 including frame.
