Painting 7:40, artist Boyko Peter

The artist masterfully transferred the traditional melody "7:40" onto canvas. Before us unfolds a dynamic and eccentric scene, depicting fun, celebration, and dancing from morning till night. Three figures of musicians, rendered in a vibrant, almost neon color palette, literally vibrate with energy. The saxophonist, violinist, and double bassist are immersed in their musical flow.

The background, executed in rich crimson-brown tones, creates a sense of deep space where music is born. Notable details, such as the fish at the musicians' feet, as well as the bottle and shot glasses, add touches of everyday grotesquerie and allusions to a festive, feasting atmosphere, which resonates with the character of the "7:40" melody. The painting is imbued with the spirit of freedom, joy, and lightheartedness inherent in improvisational art.

Peter Boyko is a Ukrainian avant-garde artist. Born in Pryluky in 1954, he displayed a talent for drawing and a passion for collecting from childhood. In his youth, he belonged to the "hippie" movement. He traveled extensively and was repeatedly detained for "anti-Soviet" behavior. Due to his dissident views, he was sent to military service in the Arkhangelsk region, to a "stroybat" (construction battalion) logging camp.

He studied the art of painting for over 8 years. Thanks to his contribution to Ukrainian art, his name has been inscribed in the "Golden Fund of the Nation." His work is filled with the colors of life and offers a fresh perspective on familiar subjects. Petro Boiko's paintings are housed in many museums in Ukraine, as well as private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Israel, the Philippines, and the USA.
