Impression of the Painting.
The painting "Harbor" is created with a Fauvist inclination while preserving color harmony. The subject of this seascape is a harbor with fishing boats along the shore of a southern village. The painting "Port" by André Derain served as a prototype and source of inspiration. The Levantine atmosphere of the painting seems to say that it's too hot right now, there's plenty of time for everything, and there's no need to rush.
The idea for the work emerged in 2014 after the artist visited the Balkan coast. Another experiment in mastering the Fauvist experience and harmony of the color palette. Gostev admired Derain and in several works “improved” upon the master’s paintings, using them as a foundation. The two boats in Gostev’s painting appear to be having a lazy conversation. The desire to animate objects was one of the characteristic features of Gostev's art.
