This original work, «The House of the Rising Sun», was created by contemporary Russian artist Mikhail Viktorov and is available for purchase online.
The painting is a visually striking metaphorical exploration of the interaction between visual associations and the musical sound of a popular song from the recent past. The song "The House of the Rising Sun" became popular thanks to the 1965 performance by The Animals. The song's setting is New Orleans.
Likely using vivid textures, bold color choices, and symbolic imagery, the artist created a painting in the style of metaphysical realism that invites reflection on the nature of melodic phrases and sounds in a timelessly popular song.
At the center of the composition is a blot resembling a building against an orange disc, but not a direct illustration of a house, hinting at the physical world where the sun lives. The disc is also a formal representation of the sun. This is where the illustrative aspect ends. There are three more trees, which are important for maintaining the composition but have no meaning for the concept.
The contrast between the flat background and the richly textured foreground creates an intentional separation between the mundane and the fantastic. This is a poetic and visually vivid work celebrating the beauty and complexity of the subconscious. It requires more than a superficial glance; attention to nuances is needed: the play of light, the dynamics of lines, hidden contrasts, and each viewer perceives this information through their own associations.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
