Waiting

Waiting embodies the characteristic traits of Bobkin’s work in every aspect. Distant characters, a landscape to get lost in, and a spectacle that holds a balance between melancholy and nostalgia. The sky isn’t perfectly blue but neither is it overcast. And it’s also about waiting. Waiting for the sky to clear, for the clouds to part, and the sun to shine through again. Waiting for the bus at the stop. Waiting for the numbers to improve and society to reopen. Yet, waiting isn’t all that bad. It’s a moment for oneself, for reflection. To take a good look around. Who knows, it might exceed your expectations.

Alexander Bobkin is a painter based in Nijmegen. Bobkin’s work is characterized by his search for the hidden reality behind the visible image. A visionary guided by his Siberian roots, he constantly travels through the mind to translate these mystical experiences onto canvas.
