Year: 2025 Medium: Oil on Canvas. Size: Height: 100cm, Width: 120cm Signature: Signed on the front and back. COA: Verified via Bitcoin blockchain. Ownership: Privately owned. Estimate: USD 15,000 - 130,000 Theme for a painting and fauvism Inspired by Jim Jarmusch The painting depicts a city that the artist Anatoli Gostev Jr. has never visited — Tangier. The painting of this North African city was inspired by Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive, where events unfold at night in Tangier. This is an amazing reflection on impartiality toward place, object, and narrative in painting — offering freedom to create one's own path through fauvism, composition, and vivid emotional expression on canvas. The figure in the painting moves against the flow, and the artist lovingly thinks of his half-sister living near Tangier — she stops, turns to the viewer, and tries to say something to them. Artistic Impression This painting depicts a city I have never visited — Tangier. I've been many places, but somehow always missed Tangier. Yet this gives me an advantage: because I’ve never been to Tangier, I carry no preconceived notions about it. - Anatoli Gostev Jr. Tangier - EN (/en/tangier-painting) Tangieri - IT (/it/tangeri-dipinto) Tanger - DE (/de/tanger-malerei) Танжер - RU (/ru/tanger-kartina) Tanger - FR (/fr/tanger-peinture) Tánger - ES (/es/tanger-cuadro) Links to author details: Gostev Jr. Biography (/en/ag) OIL-PAINTING Fri, 30 May 2025 14:28:00 +0100 /en/auctions/viewbids/30/eyes-of-a-blue-dog Auction of the Painting in Progress: Artist: Anatoli Gostev Jr. Title: Eyes of a Blue Dog.

Estimate: USD 15,000 - 130,000 The Painting as Reflection. I paint this picture with one goal: to transmit positive emotions, so that the dog waits for me and greets me. And this is its meaning. This is the goal and the play. When I invest my reflections, my emotions into the painting – be sure that they will be captured inside the canvas. I began painting this picture in 2017, thought about it, and continued in 2021. I’m not in a hurry and I can paint it for another ten years if I want to. When I feel it. Maybe I will finish the painting in two days, or maybe in twenty years. Or in the next one hundred and fifty years. Artistic Impression If you intend to paint a picture, there is a certain meaning in painting a picture. Next, you need to ask yourself the following question: what do I want to depict? What will the painting be about? And I again turn to my vague desires. - Anatoli Gostev Jr. Eyes of a Blue Dog - EN (/en/eyes-blue-dog) Occhi di cane azzurro - IT (/it/occhi-cane-azzurro-dipinto) Augen eines blauen Hundes - DE (/de/augen-eines-blauen-hundes) Глаза голубой собаки - RU (/ru/glaza-goluboy-sobaki) Des yeux de chien bleu - FR (/fr/yeux-chien-bleu) Ojos de perro azul - ES (/es/ojos-perro-azul) Links to author details: Gostev Jr. Biography (/en/ag) OIL-PAINTING Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:16:00 +0100 /en/auctions/viewbids/22/old-church Auction of Investment Art Slice painting: Artist: Anatoli Gostev Jr. Title: Old Church. Year: 2006 Medium: watercolor on paper. Size: Height: 31cm, Width: 41cm Signature: Signed on the front and back. COA: Verified via Bitcoin blockchain. Ownership: Privately owned. Estimate: USD 10,000 - 30,000 Impression of the painting. The watercolor "Old Church" was painted in 2006 in the Czech Republic by Anatoli Gostev Jr. The painting speaks of faith in a country that has lost its religious values. The Czech Republic is known for its numerous ancient castles, as well as its atheistic beliefs. The woman in the painting, with deep faith, searches for a church but finds only old, empty castles or abandoned, closed churches no longer needed. The world of double standards is highlighted by the depiction of two suns. An elderly blind woman lived in the apartment, cared for by her loving husband. They had no children of their own and often brought joy to the neighborhood kids. After her husband fell ill and passed away, the woman was left alone — blind, grieving, and heartbroken. For half a year she mourned in silence, filling the apartment with sorrow. One winter, she made her way to the Orthodox church in Pilsen, always closed to the public. There, she stood in final prayer before the old church she could not see. Then she took a rural bus into the forest. She walked into the snowy woods, collapsed, and passed away. The artist dedicated this painting to them — lives he never met, but whose presence he deeply felt, through the words of neighbors and the atmosphere of the place. Symbol of faith. The woman's symbol of faith is emphasized by the red color of her clothing and the abstract structure behind her, which seems to follow her in search of a place for prayer. A small woman with immense faith in a country of atheism, castles, and abandoned churches. - Anatoli Gostev Jr. TURN ON Subtitles of Your Language on settings"> (https://youtu.be/7mZzYR2Rdzg) Blockchain Certificate of Authenticity The painting is signed on the back: "Old Church" with the date 2006 and author's signature.
