DETAILS: Name: Chess Year: 2023 Painter: Petro Boyko Size: 17.7" x 14.6" (45 x 37 cm.) Original oil painting on canvas Style: naive, Avant-Garde, expressionism Signature of the artist on the back of the painting Chess (2023), a vibrant surrealist oil painting by celebrated Ukrainian avant-garde artist Petro Boyko, reimagines the game of chess with a whimsical, colorful flair. Measuring 17.7 x 14.6 inches (45 x 37 cm), this striking work features abstract figures of a woman and man—depicted in warm orange and soft pink tones—set against a mosaic-like, multicolored chessboard background. Playful, abstract chess pieces, including a teal knight, red pawn, and white rook, float above, while a central figure, resembling a stylized tree or chess piece with a green canopy and red trunk, anchors the composition. Created near the war zone in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region during 2022–2023, Boyko ingeniously used dense fabric as a canvas due to limited art supplies, adding unique texture and depth. His bold impasto technique and harmonious blend of figurative and abstract elements create a dynamic interplay of color and form, evoking both strategy and resilience. As a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, Boyko infuses Chess with symbolic depth, using chess imagery to reflect themes of conflict and hope. If you are an art collector, investor or want to enrich your living space, this piece will become a striking focal point. It is the perfect addition to your Eastern European art collection. This work of art is a piece of cultural history, reflecting the romantic ideals and artistic heritage of Ukrainian Art.
