About the artwork

A street musician stands alone in an old town, bent over his instrument as he plays. Roman Zuzuk gives him a long white jacket and loose white trousers, and where the head should be he sweeps in one bold curve of bright green, so the man reads almost as a question mark folding over the violin. The violin itself is warm orange-brown, the one glowing colour at the centre. Behind him rise the tall houses of the square, ochre and grey walls under red roofs, with a deep blue sky cut in above them and a reddish earth underfoot. Painted in oil on canvas in 2000, tall and narrow at 55 by 115 centimetres, and signed and dated along the bottom edge.
