Mannequins (2024) Original Oil Painting by Igor Konovalov

№Kon 46
Mannequins is a striking figurative composition executed in oil on canvas, presenting a group of dark mannequin figures standing close together inside a narrow interior space. Their smooth, expressionless faces and glossy surfaces reflect surrounding light, while colorful garments and floating molecular forms introduce vivid contrast within the scene. The composition evokes an unusual intersection between fashion, science, and modern urban life.

The arrangement of the mannequins creates a sense of quiet observation, as the figures appear almost human yet remain mysterious and detached. Bright red and patterned clothing stand out against the dark surfaces of the figures, while small molecular structures hover around them, suggesting themes of technology, chemistry, and transformation. The corridor-like interior enhances the depth of the composition and intensifies the surreal atmosphere.

Rendered in oil on canvas, the artwork combines strong contrasts of dark figures, bright garments, and luminous highlights. The smooth mannequin forms contrast with the energetic color accents and floating molecular shapes, creating a visually dynamic scene that explores identity, artificial presence, and the symbolic relationship between human form and scientific imagery.
