"THE CONE OF SURPRISE, HOURGLASS AND OTHER FIGURES"
1993, canvas, relief pastes, acrylic, 125x145 cm. The collection of Anna and Alexey Gromov, Moscow

A big, light and optimistic painting. The cube, huge white, black and blue balls, the spiral cone and the сone of surprise, Corinthian capital and small hourglass on it - yet there is no chance for the figures to stand still, everything looks stable and balanced on the picture. The balance of warm and cold shades, almost complete "vanish" of some objects in the light background create the hard-hitting (especially in still life) sense of lightness and open space.
