Cornfield (2013) Original Oil Painting by Alexander Levich

Part of Alexander Levich’s Twenty Minutes of One Evening series, Cornfield explores the quiet beauty of a landscape that many people would pass without a second glance. Inspired by a brief drive through the countryside, the painting demonstrates the artist’s ability to transform an ordinary scene into a memorable visual experience.

The composition is intentionally simple: an endless field beneath a clear sky. Yet within this simplicity lies its strength. The repeated forms of grasses create a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle violet tones emerge among the warm golden vegetation. The result is a landscape that feels simultaneously real and remembered.

The painting recalls elements of lyrical landscape painting and certain aspects of Colour Field art, where large areas of colour create atmosphere through their relationships and scale. Levich reduces the scene to its essentials, allowing space, light and colour to become the primary subjects.

At 120 × 200 cm, the work has an immersive presence that encourages viewers to experience the landscape rather than merely observe it. The vast field seems to extend beyond the edges of the canvas, creating a powerful sense of openness and tranquillity.
