Vladinsky (1988) - Untitled Observer (please read description)
This exceptional painting from Vladinsky’s renowned Observer series (2025) is part of a select group of iconic works distinguished by their deep black backgrounds—a hallmark of some of the most powerful and emotionally resonant pieces within the entire series. The intensity of the black surface creates a dramatic stage for the Observer figure, enhancing its symbolic presence and psychological depth.
It is important to note: photographing artworks with black backgrounds presents significant challenges, as the surface tends to reflect ambient light, often obscuring the full richness and detail of the original piece. In person, the work reveals a depth and texture that photographs simply cannot capture—making direct experience essential to fully appreciate its visual and emotional impact.
The composition is anchored by Vladinsky’s unmistakable Observer figure, rendered with gestural confidence and abstract expressivity. The stark contrast between the figure and the dark void behind it evokes themes of isolation, resilience, and inner illumination. Collectors familiar with Vladinsky’s work will recognize this painting as part of a celebrated, high-caliber lineage within the Observer series—marked by rarity, potency, and lasting visual power.
Having been showcased in four solo exhibitions at HOFA Gallery, London—Fragments, Revealing Obscura, Distortion and Desire, and Moment: A Journey Beyond Material—the Observer series has become a cornerstone of Vladinsky’s practice. This particular work continues that legacy, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic formats within this internationally acclaimed body of work.
Vladinsky’s pieces will also be featured at major international art fairs, including ART Hong Kong, Chicago, Volta New York, Art Miami, Contemporary Istanbul, ART021 Shanghai, and Art Singapore, confirming his rising status in the global contemporary art landscape.
Please note: Due to its size, this painting will be delivered rolled in a tube to ensure safe and secure shipping.
Bonus: Upon winning this auction, you will also receive Vladinsky’s newest book Trying To Find The One Who Has Stolen My Talent, exclusively available to top collectors.
