Five children play with hula hoops on a plain grey floor, each one twisting at a different angle so the group reads as a single motion broken into stages. They wear dark blue-grey clothes, their fair hair lit from above, and the white hoops circle their hips and shoulders. The real subject, though, is the shadows: long, sharp, blue-cast on the pale ground, almost dancing on their own beneath the figures. Hula Hooping is an oil on canvas from 2020, 120 by 100 centimetres, and Dima Dmitriev keeps the palette tight so the light and the spinning carry it.
