Original Oil Painting on Canvas by Maxim Gorshkov
A brooding, atmospheric urban abstract exploring themes of illusion, glamour, and hidden truths behind shimmering architectural facades. City of deceit depicts a dramatic, isolated metropolis floating like a mirage above dark waters.
Rising against a hazy pale-grey sky, sharp geometric skyscrapers painted in stark charcoal, black, and slate grey are slashed with brilliant golden yellow highlights—symbolizing the seductive veneer masking a shadowy core. In the foreground, a narrow grey bridge bordered by vivid violet and purple impasto marks leads the viewer across a vast expanse of dark slate water toward the distant towers. Applied with heavy palette-knife layering, scraped textures, and high-contrast color blocking, the physical oil paint catches light with commanding dramatic intensity. At 60×80 cm in a vertical format, this powerful artwork brings modern urban mystery, striking architectural grandeur, and rich narrative depth to living rooms, private studies, executive offices, or contemporary art collections.
