This original artwork «Give peace a chance» was created by contemporary Russian artist Alexander Samokhvalov and is available for purchase online.
Alexander Samokhvalov’s painting «Give peace a chance» is a powerful, conceptually rich piece that, judging by the image, refers to the figure of John Lennon and his iconic song, which became an anthem for peace. It is not a landscape but rather a portrait composition filled with strong social and emotional undertones.
The central element is a large, darkened portrait rendered in an anxious, almost surreal style. The figure’s face is illuminated by dramatic lighting, emphasizing the contrast with the nearly black background. The figure wears round glasses, one lens of which appears broken or distorted.
The most expressive and unsettling details are concentrated in the upper part of the face. From the forehead, where elements of the American flag (stripes and stars) can be discerned, dark reddish-brown «tears» or drops flow down, symbolizing pain, bloodshed, or the tragic outcome of the struggle for ideals. This is a metaphor for a shattered ideal or the tragic cost of pacifism.
Vertically positioned on the sides of the painting are the words «give» and «chance», framing the face and addressing the viewer directly with the appeal stated in the title.
The style of the work combines features of photorealism in the detailed rendering of facial features with symbolic expressionism in the use of metaphors (blood, the flag as a source of pain). The dark background enhances the sense of isolation and drama.
«Give peace a chance» is not just a portrait of a musician; it is the artist’s reflection on the legacy of the struggle for peace, the tragedy of idealists, and the fact that the call for peace remains relevant and painfully urgent.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
