About the Item

This is an abstract, colorful painting featuring layered shapes and brushstrokes arranged inside a large circular frame. The artwork combines bold colors like pink, blue, yellow, and green with jagged lines and geometric fragments. The background outside the circle is muted gold and gray, creating contrast with the vivid interior. Although abstract, the shapes loosely suggest figures or forms in motion, but not in a realistic way. The painting blends texture, splashes of color, and overlapping patterns, giving it an energetic and expressive feel. The artist’s signature appears near the bottom. This original, one-of-a-kind piece was created from a desire to capture a fleeting moment of inspiration. It celebrates personal expression and creative freedom, conveying a strong sense of vitality, wholeness, and optimism. Natan Cooper is a contemporary painter whose work explores the shifting boundary between figuration and abstraction, body and consciousness. Rooted in classical realism, his practice evolved toward a distilled visual language in which the human figure is reduced to essential lines, gestures, and fragments. These elements exist within layered, abstract spaces, suggesting tension between physical presence and inner psychological states. Cooper approaches painting as a performative process, where color, line, and spatial rhythm function as active forces rather than descriptive tools. His compositions often evoke movement, transformation, and quiet instability, inviting contemplation rather than narrative resolution. Influenced by design, graphic language, and stage aesthetics, Cooper integrates multiple visual systems into cohesive painterly structures, offering an open visual experience shaped by perception, memory, and personal interpretation.

Composition 1001, 2018., 100x100 cm
Located in Riga, LV
Composition 1001, 2018., 100x100 cm Abstract composition. Nugzar Avtandilovich Kahiani was born in Poti, Georgia in 1952. He studied at the Art College named after Nikoladze. Then he went to serve in the Soviet Army from1970 to 1972. After completing his military service he entered the Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry at the faculty of artistic metal, from which he graduated in 1986. During his studies, he has been actively engaged in painting. His favorite artists are Gauguin, El Greco, Botticelli, Turner and Picasso. Works of artistic stone He worked also with stone, cornelian and onyx. But his soul gravitated to bright and blustery color, and so he has became engaged in painting. At first his paintings were quiet, with muted tonal gamma. The color image was built on the play of hues and halftones. Such a careful elaboration of color educates the taste, sharpness and delicacy of vision. Gradually, the painter became more experienced, and his paintings acquired assurance and power of maturity, blooming in colorful brilliancy. Nugzar's color preferences The color of Nugzar’s paintings is deep and multi-layered. It is woven of infinite number of hues and filled with light. At first sight it may be difficult to recognize the shapes in the play of flickering color dabs. The figures appear gradually, they draw the first breath just before our eyes, crystallizing from the color heap. The painter is attracted by major tonality and motives that years ago could be called “the gallant feasts” - repasts, assiduities, music parties, and airings. After somewhat daemonic, infernal imagery of early paintings, it has appeared the theme of “Le joie de vivre,” the joy of life. Source of inspiration Born in the ancient Kolkhida, he keeps the blissful pagan feel of entirety and completeness of being. It is embodied almost literally in his favorite personage auroral gorgeous-bodied beauty of a girl. He grants these forms even to Olympian inhabitants - Aphrodite, Athene, Arthemide, let alone the Bacchants. I remember unwittingly that Niko Pirosmani similarly painted on his impoverished buckrams the luxurious prince repasts and languid, elephantine beauties. Working style But his style is not bounded by grotesque parody, as well as the irony is not the only aspect of his world outlook. In his landscapes we can catch the ecstatic admiration with Nature. In contradistinction to his favorite impressionists, he never paints from nature and never bears in mind the particular place. It is just a blooming Earth, studied very closely, so that the trees are cut by the edges of the painting, and at the same time it is a bird’s eye view revealing infinite, boundless spaces. Nougzar says that the landscape for him is first of all a color ensemble. He can just leaf through the illustrated journal, nourishing his eye with color in various combinations, and so get the impulse to create a ‘physical’ landscape image. Probably, his landscapes are no less fantastical than his figure compositions, but such is his talent, his mission - to make the world more beautiful and gentle than it is in reality.
