This original artwork “6. Leader” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ivan Korshunov  and is available for sale online.

Ivan Korshunov’s painting “6. Leader” is a laconic and deeply symbolic composition in which the artist explores the theme of leadership, individuality, and opposition to conformism. He uses minimalistic means of expression and contrasting colors to create an atmosphere of tension, reflection, and hidden irony characteristic of a modern view of the phenomenon of power and leadership. It is not just a still life depicting eggs and a rooster, but a kind of visual parable about how difficult it is to preserve one’s individuality in a world dominated by mass character and uniformity.

At the center of attention of the painting is the foreground, in which white chicken eggs are closely arranged to each other. They occupy most of the composition, creating a sense of homogeneity and monotony. The eggs, like symbols of potential life, at the same time look faceless and identical, which emphasizes the theme of conformism and the absence of individuality. Their whiteness, pure and untouched, seems cold and detached.

Among the white eggs stands out one figure - a bright, colorful rooster. It is executed in a technique reminiscent of a folk toy or an object of decorative and applied art. Its plumage, painted in different colors, creates a feeling of liveliness, energy, and individuality. The rooster, like a leader, towers over the mass of white eggs, attracting attention and arousing admiration for its brightness and boldness.

A special feature of the composition is the contrast between the foreground with many white eggs and the figure of the rooster. The artist deliberately uses this technique to emphasize the difference between mass character and individuality, between conformism and freedom of expression. The rooster, like a rebel, opposes the general order, not being afraid to stand out and declare himself.

The background of the painting is executed in golden tones. Gold, as a symbol of power, wealth, and success, attracts attention like a prism.

The artist uses the technique of Minimalism, emphasizing simplicity, conciseness, and symbolism. The absence of unnecessary details allows the viewer to focus on the main thing - the image of the rooster and eggs, as well as on those eternal questions that they symbolize. The contrast between colors and shapes enhances the emotional impact of the painting on the viewer and makes you think about the meaning of leadership and the price you have to pay for your individuality.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of tension, reflection, and hidden irony. The painting seems to invite the viewer to think about who leaders are, what qualities they possess, and what their role in society is. This canvas is about leadership, individuality, and the eternal search for one’s place in this world.

The title of the painting “6. Leader” suggests that the work is part of some series in which the artist explores various aspects of power and influence. The number in the title, like a number in a list, creates a feeling of order and systematicity and also hints that the topic of leadership is only one of many facets of this complex and multifaceted problem.
