Cast Concrete

The original painting that this relief is patterned after is a mixed media work on canvas. It measures 65 x 35 centimeters. The original work is the final image in the sequence of images of the concrete relief.

A follower of our Instagram account messaged me with some information about the possible inspiration for this painting. Her message:  “According to my Russian research, it could be an original model poster of the play. “Go, Doctor, I’m in Pain!!!” The collage element on the lower right corner of our painting was taken from a book cover titled “Doctor Aibolit” by K. Chukovsky. The publication date of 1936 would place the creation of this painting at the very tail end of the Russian Avant-Garde movement.
