about this painting:

BB King

The king of blues

Leonid Afremov has several canvases dedicated to famous people, particularly to musicians – thus, in this one he depicted the king of blues –BB King in perhaps his best years. If you are interested in the career of this musician who, by the way, left us not so long ago at a rather respectable age, then you will surely remember his image at one of his most famous concerts – he closed his eyes in a whirlwind of colors that swirled him better than his songs. He is dressed as usual to the nines –he has a chic suit that includes shirt, jacket, pants and a bow, of course – an essential attribute of the costume of every bluesmen. We can read all his emotions on his face – he seems to be asleep enjoying his own music – such calm can be afforded by a musician at the height of his fame only, which was BB King at that time. His fingers masterfully slide along the neck of the guitar, extracting the most amazing sounds from it and it seems that they reach us through the canvas.
