Anatoly Kost
"After the Holidays"

2014

About the Item

Anatoly Kost “After the Holidays” 2014 y. Canvas.Oil. Painting Flat: 65/55 cm. Framed: 69/59 cm. This work is part of the triptych “Shiroka Maslyana”, a series dedicated to the vibrant, age-old festival of Maslenitsa, a celebration of farewell to winter and the welcoming of spring. While the other pieces in the triptych capture the joy and dynamism of the festivities, "After the Holidays" explores the quiet aftermath—a moment of reflection, nostalgia, and transition. Concept Created in 2014, this painting showcases Anatoly Kost’s mastery of contemp-abstraction, where movement and stillness merge into a contemplative composition. The subdued palette, dominated by soft blues, warm ochres, and subtle whites, contrasts with the more dynamic strokes, suggesting the lingering warmth of celebration fading into memory. The sun, glowing faintly in the upper part of the canvas, hints at the cyclical nature of time—the festival ends, but its energy remains. Through bold yet calculated brushstrokes, Kost conveys the essence of transition, the contrast between festive chaos and quiet solitude, movement and stillness. The abstraction allows viewers to interpret their own emotions within the work, as they recall the fleeting moments of joy that define celebrations. As part of the triptych "Shiroka Maslyana", this painting has been exhibited alongside its counterparts, highlighting Kost’s unique ability to capture cultural traditions through the language of modern abstraction. A significant collector’s piece, it serves as a visual meditation on the passage of time, memory, and renewal.

Large Spanish Contemporary Juan Suarez Abstract Bold Painting Triptych Group
Located in Surfside, FL
Juan Suarez (Spanish, b. 1946) Naturaleza Muerta, Mixed media painting on three assembled canvases, (triptych) It is either oil or acrylic paint. it seems like oil to me. A label verso has it indicated as acrylic. Dimensions: 64 1/8 W: 64 1/4 in. Provenance: The Cleveland Museum of Art (bears label verso); Galerie Juana de Aizpuru Gallery (bears label verso). Born in Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz). Studies at the ETSA and at the Superior School of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel of Hungary in Seville. Grant from the Juan March Foundation in 1976. Advanced studies in Architecture and Fine Arts, University of Seville. Although he was not born in Seville, Juan Suárez is a member of the group of painters from the city who, in the seventies, linked their artistic practice, based fundamentally on painting, to international tendencies. Rather than a set of intellectual ideas, José Ramón Sierra, Gerardo Delgado and Juan Suárez shared a life experience: they were all students at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Seville and were all interested in art. Juan Suárez also studied at the Fine Arts Faculty. He held his first individual exhibition at Galería Juana de Aizpuru in 1970. (They were an important contemporary art gallery in Seville spain and showed Wolfgang Tillmans, Georg Dokoupil, Jordi Colomer, Albert Oehlen, Eduardo Chillida and Andres Serrano). In 1982 his work was shown in Diez Pintores Sevillanos, together with Manuel Salinas (1940) and Ignacio Tovar (1947), among others. At various points his worked has been shaped by American Abstract Expressionist painting, Latin American Geometric Abstraction and by Constructivist painting and sculpture. In 1976 he received a grant from Fundación March, and in 1980 another from CINFE at the Ministry of Culture. He was awarded the Drawing Prizes at the Nuremberg Biennial (1979) and ARTEDER 82, the Premio de Pintura from the Diputación Provincial de Sevilla, also in 1982, and the Premio de los Festivales de Navarra in 1985. The Geometric spirit that is ever-present in his work and his perpetual curiosity lead him to incorporate materials from a very wide range of sources; composing some pieces with superimposed planes where abstraction is a key actor. His background in architectural practice and his constant demand for excellence profoundly shape his work. In his work, the influences of Barnett Newman, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland and, especially, Richard Diebenkorn can be appreciated. However, Juan Suárez moves away, at the same time, from the uniform vibration of color fields and the structural rigidity of closed compositions, alternating both concepts, from an emotional and poetic perspective. The density of the color dialogues with drippings and suggestive liquidiscent stains,while reserves and sharp lines make up and hold the pictorial structure.He writes in different magazines and specialized books on art and architecture.
