Dillema Painting

Every author's work by Rumen Sazdov, is an investment original with a guaranteed value based on the registration of his name in the world auction catalog MAYER*, which has been the main ARTINDEX for art trading in the world for two centuries. *all data from the MAYER catalog (year 1995 + 1996) are listed on artnet.com Each oil canvas is rooted in representation, even if the color fields surrounding central figures swirl abstractly or, conversely, a familiar, detailed setting explodes with bright rectilinear forms. Sazdov assembles his arresting images with strong, thick borders around triangles, rectangles and trapezoids of strong, sharply contrasting hues. Compositions pitting warm oranges against lush greens or searing reds crisscrossed by deep blues create gripping tensions that set the carefully deconstructed images ablaze. The separating out of subjects into discrete geometric parts accentuates the power of Sazdov’s exquisite color collisions
