A new entry in the world of museum paintings

Posted by GeorgeVelvet on April 26th, 2014

Art exhibits are a prized possession in museums. When tourists visit a museum, the objects of art seems to captivate them totally. This accounts for the artworks’ to be most sought after, especially by amateur artists and even experts. Many of these displays that qualify as museum paintings can be traced back to several centuries, which are depictive of a certain era and the situations that were mostly prevalent during those times. One of them that have gained predominance over these years is the King of Roulette painting by Nicholas Chistiatov, falling in his figurative category. The hand painted work is a true masterpiece and many have even made a beeline for purchasing despite knowing the exorbitant price of it which can actually set them back by a fortune.

The brain behind the work, Nicolas Chistiakov is a contemporary artist who was born in Belarus and is currently a resident of Brooklyn in the United States. With equal forte in abstract, postmodern, black, white and other sub-divisions, he has been gaining a lot of attention for his King of Roulette painting that is a hot seller since he created it on 28th December, 2013 and measures about 60 x 60 x 1.5 inches. From multifarious styles and ranges in photorealism, non-expressionism and geometric abstraction, Nicholas is quite adept in the field of painting. All his figurative compositions explore the dark and dingy world, perverse sexuality, tragic and uncertain circumstances.  Avid artwork lovers are turned on with all the absurd elements that find a place in his paintings such as mourners, drinkers, weird animals and so on. The most unique aspect of his painting is that nobody gets to see actual faces of people; rather the abstracted masked avatars are visible. Nicholas who has won accolades for his collections, finds his work create waves at international shows in places like Istanbul, Moscow, New York, Stockholm and the UK.

Most museum paintings are a rich blend of oil and acrylic colors and the same can be found here too. This is because, the artwork retains its wet look and do not show ravages of time that are mostly found in paintings made of something different.

Great masters as Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, and John Singleton Copley raised the standard of art by creating museum paintings and portraits that left the world dumbstruck. Nicholas has been following in their path and has made a niche for himself. In fact he says that he drew his inspiration from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which he feels reflects history and momentary thoughts correctly. What clicked for Nicholas while painting museums was the effect of the combination. That is to say contemporary costumes, and fashion that blended well with the historical art. That gave him the impetus to reinterpret classical art in his very own way and produce something eternal that will stay on forever.

For all those interested in buying this piece has to shell out an amount of $20000. The moment the product is shipped which takes about a fortnight or so, its charm will continue to allure all the art patrons.
