With certificate signed by the artist // The Flying #4 by Ilja Kabakov, created in 2006, is a tapestry that captures a surreal scene of a man floating horizontally above a cityscape, as if in flight. Rendered in muted blue and earthy tones, the piece evokes a sense of dreamlike freedom and introspection, with the figure hovering above detailed buildings and rooftops that stretch towards the horizon. The simplicity of the color palette and the texture of the tapestry enhance the contemplative mood, drawing attention to the contrast between grounded urban life below and the solitary figure soaring above. Kabakov’s work often explores themes of escapism, isolation, and the human desire for transcendence, making this piece a powerful visual metaphor for liberation and the yearning to break free from constraints.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
