Working primarily with oils, Yuri Krotov’s brushstrokes work their magic onto the canvas. With his shades of pastel, the Russian artist has managed to accomplish work that is playful,light, and reminiscent of cloudless skies and lazy summer days in the sun where children still wear straw hats and build sandcastles. Subtle lines and soft colours compose well-painted pieces and capture a space in time where women in flowing frocks are caught in a pensive moment or the dappled light of the Parisian boulevards. Krotov’s figurative works combine the attributes of depth and form, bringing about a certain vitality to his images. And once viewed, it takes only a moment before you can hear the waves break through his seascapes or the chirping of birds through the foliage that encompass his landscapes.
