Languid Evening in Gurzuf 1981

"Languid Evening in Gurzuf" (1981) by Volodymyr Loboda is an expressive oil painting that showcases the artist's masterful use of bold color and simplified form. The composition, dominated by a reclining nude figure, is rendered in broad strokes of vibrant red, yellow, and green, evoking a sense of warmth and sensuality. The fragmented background, with its hints of blue and black, adds depth and a suggestion of the natural world. Loboda's style, characterized by its simplified forms and vibrant palette, reflects a contemporary approach to figuration, reminiscent of Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism. This artwork is a testament to the artist's ability to capture both the physical beauty of the human form and the evocative power of color.
