Still Life with Eggs

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg (Russia).

The positively bright Easter still life is biographical; this is indicated not only by the letter “Я» (Russian «I”), but also by pencils. The presence of random objects and other letters in the set slightly distracts you but does not confuse. The plot seems to be an illustration of the usual way of life of the family, depicted in accordance with all the rules of avant-garde. A lot of elements, an abundance of squares on a deep blue background with blurry borders – objects break out of space in contrasting details. The author solves the problem of depicting them without piles in different shades. Such a mosaic or kaleidoscope returns the viewer to his childhood, the memory of which, most likely, the artist captured.
