AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Signed lower left in pencil and dated lower right. Unique work.
Birch Juice Blues belongs to Manikhin's ongoing exploration of intimacy, folklore and everyday mythology. Set within a simplified northern landscape of birch trees and conifers, the work combines humour, tenderness and emotional ambiguity through a deliberately naïve visual language. The embracing couple appears suspended between memory, desire and rural folklore, while the reduced forms and direct line work evoke both folk art traditions and contemporary figurative drawing.
Manikhin's practice is centred on the human figure and the fragile balance between comedy and vulnerability. Drawing on personal narratives, popular culture and vernacular imagery, his works create poetic situations where ordinary encounters acquire a mythological dimension.
The artwork is sold unframed; an additional charge for a frame with museum-quality glass applies, subject to separate agreement.
