Title: Oil painting Busy city streets Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: No.AAA5676The Oil painting Cardboard titled “Busy city streets” captures the pulse of urban life at a moment when tradition and modernity intertwine, and the city emerges as a living organism with layers of history, motion, and atmosphere. The composition, infused with expressive brushstrokes and dynamic contrasts, opens onto a scene dominated by a broad riverfront, a sturdy stone bridge, and monumental architecture in the background, all of which work together to embody the energy and grandeur of a bustling metropolis. At the center of the composition is the bridge, painted with earthy, rich tones that emphasize its strength and permanence. Its arches span the river below, reflecting in the turquoise-green water that ripples with both tranquility and movement. The water becomes a mirror, capturing not just the bridge but also the boats moored along the embankment. Two small sailboats, with slender masts stretching skyward, add both elegance and rhythm to the foreground, serving as reminders of human ingenuity and the ceaseless link between cities and waterways. Their stillness contrasts beautifully with the busy life unfolding above them, creating a balance between rest and activity. On the bridge itself, the liveliness of the streets comes into view. Figures dressed in varied colors walk across, some moving in groups while others are solitary, creating a rhythm of silhouettes against the muted cityscape. Among them, a horse-drawn carriage suggests both movement and nostalgia, a nod to traditions still alive amidst the evolving face of urban life. The carriage, together with the people, imbues the composition with narrative: this is not a static cityscape but one alive with stories, each passerby carrying their own destination and purpose. The architectural backdrop rises majestically behind the bridge, painted in a mixture of subdued grays, browns, and hints of green. The dome of a central building, crowned with a spire, dominates the skyline, drawing the viewer’s eye upward and emphasizing the spiritual and cultural weight of the city. Around it, towers and facades stretch into the misty sky, their outlines softened by atmospheric strokes of gray and pale beige, suggesting the hazy breath of smoke, fog, or simply the dense air of urban environments. To the right, a golden-yellow building glows warmly under the artist’s brush, providing a counterbalance of light against the more somber structures and adding depth to the layered cityscape.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Busy city streets"* ARTIST: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 30x40 cm/11.81x15.74 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
