Aquarium 1979

"Aquarium" is a 1979 work by Oleksandr Aksinin, a Ukrainian artist known for his geometric and abstract art. The work's title suggests a depiction of an underwater scene, but the artist utilizes abstract shapes and patterns to convey the essence of the aquarium. The composition is dominated by geometric forms in shades of green, blue, and black, with a strong emphasis on layering and depth. Aksinin's work is characterized by its intricate details, creating a complex and visually stimulating piece. His use of a dot pattern throughout adds texture to the composition and gives a sense of movement to the seemingly static forms. "Aquarium" demonstrates Aksinin's interest in exploring the relationship between abstract forms and the natural world.
