This original work, «Venus with red», was created by contemporary Russian artist Inna Shipilova and is available for purchase online.
Inna Shipilova's painting «Venus with red» is a captivating and multilayered reflection on classical beauty, fragmentation, and contemporary perception. The artist takes the canonical image of Venus — a symbol of eternal femininity and perfection — and subjects it to a bold deconstruction.
The central element of the composition is a figure reminiscent of an ancient marble statue. However, this statue is deliberately «broken» into vertical strips, creating the effect of a collage or a shattered mirror. Each segment displays the body with slight but noticeable shifts, disrupting the integrity of the image and introducing an element of anxiety or uncertainty. The viewer sees not a perfect form, but its «assembly» from different parts.
The contrast between the cold matte whiteness of the marble and the rich warm background draws the eye. The background itself is a complex texture: on the left, red-brown tones dominate with a plant ornament symbolizing nature and life. On the right, the background shifts to a golden surface adorned with barely visible inscriptions.
The red decoration in the upper right plays a special role, giving the work liveliness and sensuality, contrasting with the ascetic nature of the statue. The white fabric held by Venus appears to be the only truly soft and flowing element.
«Venus with red» is a dialogue between the eternal ideal and reality, where beauty exists not as a whole, but as a set of assembled, sometimes imperfectly fitting fragments. Shipilova masterfully uses technique to show that even the greatest ideals need to be rethought in the 21st century.
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.
