Two Cupudons in Dance
In Lilit Soghomonyan's "Two Cupidons in Dance," we encounter a visceral portrayal of movement and emotion rendered in the timeless medium of oil on canvas. This piece, a representation of Soghomonyan's work from 2017, embodies the contemporary figurative style while embracing the fervor of abstraction.The painting is infused with a palpable dynamism, as the two figures are captured in an intimate choreography that seems to transcend the canvas. Soghomonyan’s brushwork is both robust and delicate, a paradox that mirrors the complexity of dance itself. The cupids, often symbols of love and mirth, are portrayed with a depth of emotion that belies their traditional representation as mere cherubs. Soghomonyan's color palette is fiery and impassioned, with bold reds and softer earth tones swirling together in a harmonious yet fervent display. The use of gold hues not only adds a sense of the ethereal but also anchors the figures in a shared space that is both terrestrial and otherworldly. It
