The genre composition contains metaphors and symbols characteristic of the artist's work. The chessboard, geometrized planes of the interior, unstable, circular, funnel-like composition, complex angle of seated figures, indistinct rhythmically repeating fragments of space give the work movement, reveals the author's idea of the changeability of the world and the fatality of the question of choosing black or white. It would be wrong to perceive the composition of the painting as a specific event, although the artist shows the usual occupation of young people - playing chess. The figures of the three young men sitting at the chessboard are turned back to the viewer and seem to be cut into the interior. They are maximally close to the frame of the canvas, which makes the viewer an accomplice of the event depicted on the canvas. The geometrical planes of the interior, its repetitions, elements of cubic composition, in which the object environment is split into component parts and connected thanks to three figures in the foreground, turn a good-natured genre scene of a game of chess into a generalized - conventional situation. And at the same time the feeling of fragmentation and disharmony does not arise due to the general coloring - silver-gray tones, subtle accents of red, orange, the connection of all subjects, objects in the composition. The artist managed to show the dynamics of modern life, the simplicity of relationships between young people. #almasnurgozhaev #artists of Almaty #human center of the universe #human #portrait #symbol #metaphor #symbol of the epoch #contemporary artist #expression #painting #painting #painting of Almaty #painting of Kazakhstan #art of Kazakhstan #young artists of Kazakhstan #contemporary art #contemporary art #contemporaryart #next move #galleriesalmaty #artsme #chess #adolescents #playingchess #genre composition #multifigure composition #gift ideas #collection #pictures for collector #pictures in collection #modernart #contemporary art collection #modernart #contemporary art collection #picture interior #pictureoffice #pictureoffice #pictureoffice #pictureoffice #pictureoffice #gift for executive #gift for administration
