The Freezing Town (2005)Oil painting by Alexander Levich

Alexander Levich’s The Freezing Town reveals an imagined city hidden within a glowing field of color. Built from countless small brushstrokes of warm yellow, orange, and green, the painting gradually discloses houses, towers, and bridges that appear and disappear within the layered texture of the canvas.

The artist does not present a clearly defined map of the town. Instead, he allows the viewer to discover its structures slowly, almost like uncovering the memory of a place that may never have existed. The architecture seems suspended in stillness, as if the entire settlement has been momentarily frozen in time.

Levich’s early works are known for their delicate layering technique, where subtle variations of colour create an illusion of depth and vibration. In The Freezing Town, this approach transforms abstraction into a poetic landscape that invites imagination and quiet contemplation.
