Creative Rationale

Over the Central Asian steppes of Kazakhstan, where vast grasslands stretch beneath continental skies, the atmosphere carries extreme cold at -248°C with bone-dry air and moderate winds from the northwest. This harsh, desolate environment translates into a violent collision of icy whites and grays slashing against flesh tones, with aggressive diagonal marks cutting across the canvas driven by the 8.9 m/s winds. The extremely low pressure creates forms that press violently against the picture plane, while the bitter cold transforms de Kooning's typical warm palette into stark contrasts between frozen whites and raw flesh pinks, as if human warmth struggles against the brutal continental climate.
