Série Émotion (Émotion 1, Émotion 2, and Émotion 3) by Chaban, 2025

This set consists of three contemporary abstract paintings on canvas, titled Émotion 1, 2, and 3, created by the artist Chaban in 2025. Each piece features a distinct color palette representing different emotional states: deep cool blues and whites in the top piece, vibrant reds and creams in the middle piece, and earthy browns with a textured pink mass in the lower piece. A recurring motif in all three works is a tiny, solitary human figure placed low in the composition, which creates a profound sense of scale and isolation against the expansive, blurred backgrounds. The paint application varies from smooth, vertical blending resembling light or water to more impasto, or textured, applications in the pink cloud-like form. Each canvas is signed by the artist in the lower right corner. The pieces appear to be in pristine, newly completed condition, resting on newspaper during a drying or presentation stage. The craftsmanship shows a deliberate use of color theory and minimalist composition to evoke psychological depth, characteristic of 21st-century contemporary minimalism.
