DESCRIPTION
The Toolip Art Gallery presents "Solo On Drums", a painting that belongs to Sergei Komiagin's artworks.
 
In his painting Solo on Drums, Sergei Komiagin explores two of his favorite themes: the movement of the human body and the power of music.
 
Inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge and Marcel Duchamp, Komiagin fragments movement, creating an illusion of constant rhythm and dynamic flow. Here, the drummer, fully absorbed in their performance, is portrayed in a whirl of sound vibrations.
 
The brushstrokes seem to "dance" across the canvas, conveying physical motion and the sensation of musical improvisation.
 
Broad, energetic strokes around the drums and hands emphasize rhythmic diversity, while the muted tones of the suit and figure create balance and focus. This is a visual ode to music, where each brushstroke resonates like a drumbeat.
 
The painting captures the energy and expression of a jazz solo, transforming the canvas into a stage where sound comes to life.
 
BIOGRAPHY
Sergei Komiagin was born in 1970 in Smolensk region in Russia.
 
In 1993, he earned a degree in Arts from Smolensk State University (former Smolensk State Pedagogical Institute).
 
He currently lives and works in Svetlogorsk, in the Kaliningrad region. In his practice, Sergei strives to express emotions through facial expressions and body movements.
 
Especially interested in sports and music, the artist often references these themes in his dynamic, expressive, and bordering-on-abstraction portraits.
