Original artwork description:

In Sunset Road (2020, oil on canvas, 60x120 cm), Alexander Levich transforms an evening drive into a scene of quiet intensity. A road stretches across the canvas, painted in radiant reds and violets, while a car approaches from the horizon. The viewer is positioned directly on the road, confronted by the forward movement of the vehicle, which adds both immediacy and a sense of shared experience. At the vanishing line stands a railway crossing, a subtle but evocative element that suggests thresholds, decision points, and the rhythm of travel.

Levich often draws on personal moments when painting. For him, the act of driving is a time for reflection and perception, when ordinary scenes acquire heightened meaning. In this work, the sky and landscape dissolve into the glow of sunset, turning familiar forms into an atmosphere of anticipation. The car’s approach transforms the composition from a static landscape into a narrative encounter, as though the viewer themselves were waiting by the roadside.

This figurative painting resonates with anyone who has experienced the strange beauty of twilight travel. It is not an abstract idea of light, but a vivid memory placed on canvas – a work that carries both intimacy and universality. Collectors will find in Sunset Road a strong example of Levich’s gift for transforming lived experience into emotionally charged landscapes.
