Summer Languor
Description:
I always chose different painting techniques. The one in "Summer Languor" is my favorite style.I didn't paint it: I was making a piece of paint lace, spinning it, weaving it.I know, usually, it's a woman's hobby to spin lace. But I couldn't help using it in my work.Available — this original is currently for sale.

About this piece
Summer Languor is an original, one-of-a-kind work by Sergei Troshin, born 1960, based in Canada. It is made with acrylic on canvas and measures 48 × 36 in (121.9 × 91.4 cm). It was completed in 2020. There is only one — nothing here is a print or a reproduction.
Materials and finish
The work is built on canvas. Canvas has a slight give, so a heavy surface stays flexible with it.
Acrylic — Acrylic dries quickly and stays flexible, which lets layers be laid over one another in a single session and scraped back while still workable. Tate’s glossary entry on acrylic paint explains the term in more detail.
Size and scale
The piece measures 48 × 36 in (121.9 × 91.4 cm). It reads as a horizontal piece, and this is a large piece — it will carry a sofa wall or a dining wall by itself, and wants roughly its own width of clear space around it.
Looking after it
Hang it out of direct sunlight, keep it away from radiators and humidity, and dust it with a dry, soft cloth.
Room conditions matter more than anything else: stable temperature, stable humidity, no direct sun. The American Institute for Conservation publishes plain-language guidance on caring for artwork at home.
From the same year
2020 is represented in the catalogue by 4 works. Alongside this one: Decorative Composition 1, Decorative composition 2 and Decorative Composition 3.
