Titled “Three Bottles,” painted in 1988 the composition features a harmonious arrangement of forms and textures, where the bottles emerge through layers of bold, expressive brushstrokes. Konevin’s mastery lies in his ability to balance abstraction with the subtle suggestion of recognizable shapes, allowing the viewer to engage with the work on multiple levels.

The palette, a dynamic interplay of muted and vibrant tones, creates a rhythmic tension that draws the eye across the canvas. His application of paint, rich and textural, underscores the tactile qualities of his medium, giving the piece a depth and vitality emblematic of Soviet and post-Soviet modernist movements.

"First of all they are made in Leningrad before my liberation to Israel in January 1990 and are from the most early so called "Russian period" of my development. They were brought to USA in a sea container from Russia to USA while I landed in Israel, Tel Aviv and become an Israeli citizen. The art dealer in USA was Rosetta Pascal who sold these and many other paintings to the most known Jewish collectors. The second dealer was Dov Safrai, the owner of Safrai Gallery Jerusalem (the oldest and important at the time) who sold very many new ones in USA till his death.The point is I have sold about may be around 50 paintings in USA all to Jewish people like advisers, lawyers, Hollywood producer, ...mostly NY, LA, Atlanta." - Valery Konevin (Correspondence with Artist on authenticity).
