The Apocalypse Trilogy (2022) Original Acrylic Painting by Maksim Gorshkov

30 x 40 x 1.5cm (unframed)

£256.45

"A dramatic tripartite vision of cosmic reckoning—where crimson fury, shadowy decay, and spectral stillness clash across a heavily textured landscape."

About the Artwork
Plague, War, and Death: The Apocalypse Trilogy is a bold, mythic abstract painting that divides the canvas into three distinct symbolic realms, exploring timeless themes of conflict, mortality, and transformation.

The composition unfolds across a sharp diagonal geometric grid:

War (The Crimson Wedge): A fiery red field dominated by raised, sculptural impasto medallions tinted with gold—evoking battle shields, burning coals, or pulsing scars.

Plague (The Dark Canopy): The upper realm blends moody charcoal black, raw umber, and burnished gold in a heavily textured, atmospheric swirl that suggests shadow and decay.

Death (The Spectral Base): The lower zone features scraped, bone-white layers etched with delicate organic swirls, representing pale silence, ash, and ultimate quietude.

Framed by a sharp golden dividing line, the contrast between the three zones creates an intense narrative energy that is both foreboding and deeply alluring.

Visual & Tactile Details
High-Relief Sculptural Impasto: Raised circular motifs and thick palette-knife modeling give the canvas a striking 3D texture that catches ambient light.

Dynamic Tripartite Composition: Bold diagonal division separates the warm, neutral, and dark color blocks into a compelling geometric layout.

Dramatic Statement Piece: Brings powerful symbolism, rich tactile depth, and a moody modern aesthetic to contemporary gallery walls, modern gothic spaces, or dramatic focal areas.
