Dominating the wall facing Chamberlain’s etchings is ‘Model’, a triptych by Russian artist Robert Nizamov. The paintings are Impressionist in style, the paint mostly applied is short daubs like brightly coloured tadpoles. From this mosaic the ‘model’ in each picture emerges. Influenced by Andrew Graham Dixon’s series on Russian art I decided each model woman represented a different era of Russian history, moving from a woman with the large eyes and steady gaze found in icons (see above) to a red haired flapper via an eighteenth century-type figure with a powdered wig. There is a nice contrast between the shadowy face of the icon woman and the flapper who seems to be entirely a creature of light, the paint in this picture sometimes breaking up to reveal trickles of white canvas so she seems to be lit up from behind.
