Golden on a blue, Larissa Strunowa-Lübke - T.O.E. Art Market

The works of Larissa Strunowa-Lübke need space. Not only because they are large canvasses, but also because of their strong colours and the intrinsic tension between contemplation and the ecstatic movement of her figures. They demand time and an alert eye. Only after the second or third look one can discover the colours and lines representing faces and fragmentary figures hidden from the observer at the first cursory glance.
