I never especially liked
modernism. For me the main art subject is a naked woman! I have
defined that after the first year of rough exhibition activity in
the end of 80-th which took part in Sankt-Petersburg (Russia). It is
natural, that the naked woman brings to the normal person mush more
emotions, than Black Square. And it's beautiful anyway. This
painting made in honor of group “ The Battle Elephants ”,
which I was exhibited with at this time, and represents Josephine
Baker on a background of a carpet with the elephants. Sold.
“The Pilotress”
oil & canvas 1990
Similar subjects of Eveline Vow's parties on a dirigible balloon and
Great Gatsby. Probably, then, as before Great Depression, there was
an acute necessity in fun. The home receptions and dance
parties have revived. Bella
Matveyeva even leased the whole yacht for orgies. Dynamics and
romanticism were strongly desirable. Here Pilotress makes her see
site flight, while a golf match going on below. Sold.
“Cream de
violet” oil & canvas 1991
The Pilotress and Golf player have completed to attend to sports,
lodge in Rolls and have gone to attend for love. Sailors passed
behind the road. The name has came from Igor Severianin’s poetry,
and sailors came from a painting “ The Red boat to Cairo ”
(sold). The leaders of group “ The Battle Elephants ” have
decided to expand the territories of art and have moved to Israel
(for the beginning), where for one year have organized 10 (ten!)
exhibitions, until dispatched, driven by the contradictions of
“the severed world of Capitalism”. Sold.
