Poolside 4 radiates the feeling of sun-drenched leisure, where abstraction and figuration collide in Yermolova’s signature expressive style. The loosely rendered female figure, painted from behind, appears almost weightless as she basks in a luminous, dreamlike atmosphere. The layers of oil on canvas, applied with both deliberate strokes and impulsive drips, create a textural depth that enhances the painting’s dynamic energy.
The color palette is strikingly vibrant, with deep cobalt blues dominating the canvas, interrupted by bursts of golden yellows and warm ochres. These complementary hues create a captivating play of light and shadow, evoking the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the water. The rawness of the brushwork adds to the sense of movement, as if the scene is shifting before the viewer’s eyes.
Signed and ready to display, Poolside 4 captures a fleeting moment of tranquility and escape. It is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online.
