In Call the Play?, Marina Gorbachova masterfully captures a moment suspended between chance and choice — a scene set within the seductive, high-stakes atmosphere of a casino. Two men in formal eveningwear sit on either side of a near-nude woman in heels and olive-yellow lingerie. The figures are positioned on a plush bench, against a floral wall that hints at vintage decadence and fading glamour. Their expressions are distant; their gestures muted. Yet the tension is electric.

The casino, a place where fortune and desire intersect, becomes a metaphor for human relationships. The woman, viewed from behind, dominates the composition — not merely an object of attention, but the silent dealer in a game no one fully understands. Her posture is poised, assertive. The men — disengaged from each other, unsure if they’re players or pawns — exist in psychological limbo.

The question posed by the title, Call the Play?, is not just about a gamble or a flirtation — it’s about agency. Who controls the moment? Who watches whom? Who acts, and who waits?

Gorbachova’s thick, expressive brushwork and carefully restrained palette echo postwar European figurative expressionism, recalling the interior stillness of Edward Hopper and the social tension of Balthus. The oil’s physicality enhances the emotional architecture — this is a painting that vibrates with layered meaning.
