Moslavina
07 January 2026
Acrylic on hardboard
26 x 30 inches (66.0 x 76.2 cm)
This was a second painting to compete for RAW, CONCRETE, a call-for-art (see more in Reticule). It was also the second painting of 2026. I know there are lots of concrete works in the former Soviet Union and a search brought up this gem. It's the Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina. I thought it embodied concrete and the Brutalist Movement perfectly. I also thought the angles made for a pretty striking image. It's also a shout out to fighting to make a place better. I really liked how the sky turned out and adds to the mood. I could have used less green to lower the mood even more, but grass grows in almost any environment.
A gif showing the progress. Funny how many gifs jump from somewhat finished to finished.
Two days of work - had actual work between the days.
I refurbished this frame and it's hard to go wrong with a simple black frame.
