Vladinsky (1988) - Where is my cat? Untitled Observer (please read description)

This extraordinary work from Vladinsky's celebrated Observer series (2025) offers a rare glimpse into the artist's deeply introspective and spontaneous creative process. Set upon an elegant, light grey background—unusual and particularly captivating in this series—the canvas is intriguingly half-covered, echoing subtle references from Vladinsky’s earlier exhibition, Revealing Obscura.

Adding profound emotional layers to the painting are delicate, childlike sketches, seemingly disconnected yet perfectly harmonious with the underlying composition. A standout element is the beautifully refined drawing of a woman—a graceful nude figure, gently reaching out to caress a cat. This seemingly innocent gesture is charged with personal significance; during the period this artwork was created, one of the artist’s three beloved cats mysteriously vanished, leaving a lasting emotional imprint.

Vladinsky describes these spontaneous sketches as arising without forethought, often after a canvas has remained untouched for extended periods. Thus, each drawn element becomes a sincere, subconscious reflection of the artist’s inner experiences and emotional state.

An artwork rich in meaning, spontaneity, and emotional authenticity, this rare piece invites viewers into an intimate, introspective world, revealing the delicate balance between personal narrative and universal resonance.

The Observer Series has been featured in four solo exhibitions at HOFA Gallery, London—Fragments, Revealing Obscura, Distortion and Desire, and Moment: A Journey Beyond Material—establishing it as a cornerstone of Vladinsky’s artistic practice. This particular work exemplifies the series' continued evolution, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece from this internationally recognized body of work.

Vladinsky’s work will also be showcased at major international art fairs, including ART Hong Kong, Chicago, Volta New York, Art Miami, Contemporary Istanbul, ART021 Shanghai, and Art Singapore, further cementing his position within the global contemporary art scene.

Please note: Due to its size, this painting will be delivered rolled in a tube to ensure safe and secure shipping.
