Composition

author

Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: private collection.

The layering of a variety of different irregular, mostly acute-angled figures could give the abstract canvas a certain amount of aggressiveness. However, the softness of the palette and the exquisite transitions of pastel tones level this premise. The artist built the composition in such a way that the canvas has a warm side and a cold side. Though, they do not oppose each other, as gray and white planes penetrate the pink space. It, in turn, sends its rays and blemishes to a gray and white background. Any work of Mykhailo Andriienko, even the most non-figurative one, never has any chaos or instability.
