Plasticine City (1995) Original Oil Painting by Alexander Levich

Plasticine City (1995) is a key transitional work by Alexander Levich, where architectural form shifts from structured composition into a unified, malleable mass. A single softened structure emerges, with rounded contours and embedded openings that suggest a city shaped rather than constructed.

The form appears unstable, its edges dissolving into the surrounding field while the lower part gradually disperses into subtle vertical traces. This creates a tension between solidity and transformation, as the structure seems to exist in a constant state of change.

Positioned between Levich’s earlier explorations of structure and his later memory-based compositions, this work represents a crucial stage in his artistic development. For collectors, it offers a compelling example of the artist’s evolving language, where architecture becomes a fluid and psychological construct.
