About the artwork

A tight cluster of figures stands close together under a bunch of red and white umbrellas, painted by Dima Dmitriev so the people almost dissolve into dark legs and shadows beneath the bright canopy. Diagonal streaks of grey rain fall across a pale, textured ground, and the umbrellas overlap into one mass of red at the top. The umbrellas keeps its palette to red, white and rain-grey, and the loose, scratchy handling makes the downpour feel real. Oil on canvas, 2024, 85 by 90 centimetres.
