“Sometimes the most beautiful things are the simplest ones, And more often than not it is such things that we need in order to heal most of our ailments – a bit of sunlight, a brief moment of peace when we can take in the whole world in one breath- with our lungs, our eyes and our hearts.
This is the moment when we realize that if we stay strong and true to those simple things that make all the sense, the world and ground under our feet will hold us.” – Alexander Volkov
The Marcus Ashley Gallery curates limited-edition pieces (in different mediums), sculptures, original art, giclée prints, and oil paintings, to name a few. Connoisseurs of art enjoy exploring the collections, including Alexander Volkov art. The artist’s work is of particular interest to those who are drawn to contemporary, realism paintings.
Volkov is a revered Russian-American artist who moved from St. Petersburg, Russia to the United States in 1989. Rural America and his travels from around the world serve as inspiration for his many works. As part of the
Soul Medicine Collection
, this piece underscores the beauty of simple things.
Medicine For the Soul 2
captures Volkov’s artistry in controlling the way light and shadows merge. A scattering of yellow onions and bits of their papery skin lies across the counter as sunlight illuminates their fragility.
Different elements spring to life: the dark spirit bottle, clear crystal, and wicker basket. The textural composition of this piece moves seamlessly from one subject to the next. Volkov draws attention to inanimate objects that spark comfort in the familiar.
Medicine For The Soul 2
is a distinct piece that, like other works of the artist, tells a beautiful story that captures an intriguing point of view.
