Sleepy positions of knight E7 and bishop G5 in the third quarter of December 1990

"Sleepy Positions of Knight E7 and Bishop G5 in the Third Quarter of December" (1990) is an abstract painting by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993). The work displays a muted color palette of blues, grays, and whites, with a flash of red in the left side of the composition. The figures within the painting appear to be shrouded in mist, with the title suggesting a connection to the game of chess. Holosiy’s work often explored the themes of time, memory, and dreams, which are evident in the dreamlike imagery and the suggestive narrative of this painting.
