The Memory of the Apse 2007

"The Memory of the Apse" (2007) by Marin Gherasim (1937-2017) is a captivating abstract artwork. The painting features a bold, textured golden arc reminiscent of an apse, a semicircular space often found in churches. This central element dominates the composition, set against a dark green background that suggests both mystery and depth. The geometric forms in the lower portion of the painting, primarily red and black, create a dynamic interplay of shapes and colors, further adding to the abstract quality of the piece.
