A young figure holds up a red mask on a slender thread, gazing out with one visible eye while a small glowing orb hovers above. Pavel Filin builds the face with thick, broken brushwork, letting warm ochres and reds cut through cool blues and hazy neutrals for a mood that is at once tender and unsettling. This original oil painting plays the idea of the concealed self against the searching look of the sitter. An intriguing figurative work to view at Art Gallery Teplice.
