A. Gubanov (Russian) - The Night Watchmen

Dimensions: 31"W x 2"D x 42"H

In The Night Watchmen, A. Gubanov conveys a haunting, evocative moment through bold strokes and tonal contrasts. The piece suggests quiet vigilance and mystery, as shadowed figures stand sentry in a nighttime setting. Gubanov’s hand brings gravity and subtle narrative to this unique work—an excellent addition for collectors of post-Soviet realism or moody figural studies.

From the dealer:
Russian artist who emigrated to the Bay area in the 80s. He traveled much of his life through Afghanistan and other neighboring countries, painting and drawing many of the people he encountered. He was notable for his ability to draw and paint the horse figure.
