Canonical Image 1979

"Canonical Image" is a 1979 work by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin. This piece, characterized by a striking green and red color scheme, depicts three stylized pears perched atop a green platform, suspended above a red cone. The cone is positioned against a green background, resembling a wooden plank. The simplicity of the forms, combined with the bold colors and the use of geometric shapes, creates a sense of abstract representation that is characteristic of Aksinin's style. The work evokes a feeling of whimsy and surrealism, leaving the viewer to ponder the relationship between the objects and their significance within the composition.
