A three-handed game 2015

Danil Nemirovsky painted “A Three-Handed Game” with a range of oil paints, though when, exactly, is anyone's guess. Just look at the wild abandon of the colours, reds and greens, blues and yellows, all thrown together like a party in a paint factory. The thickness of the paint varies across the canvas, creating a textured surface that almost begs to be touched. See that strange, grey-skinned figure in the centre with the polka dot suit? It’s like Nemirovsky has captured a moment of quiet contemplation amidst all the chaos, a little nod to the artist’s process of looking and thinking. “A Three-Handed Game” reminds me of Picasso, he also had a similar sense of playfulness. It’s a beautiful mess, a conversation starter, and a reminder that art doesn't always have to make sense to be meaningful.
