Avers –revers 2010

"Avers –revers" (2010) by Andrey Remnev is a painting depicting two figures, likely clowns, in close proximity. The figure on the left wears a large, ruff-like collar and has a single black tear painted below their eye, contrasting the red dot on the nose of the figure on the right. The contrasting colors and the figures' close proximity creates a sense of duality and opposing forces, perhaps representing the duality of the human experience. The contrasting colors and exaggerated features of the figures suggest a stylized approach to the human form, typical of figurative art.
