“ I so wanted to be a rich man's plaything! ” oil & canvas 1995 

By this time I, being the participant of serious and prestigious museum exhibitions, was strongly inspired of comics books. I start think about curate show. My first project was named “ Marry pictures”. The idea was that kinetic merger of art and fiction employed by the comics genre, may lead to some new and fresh developments in contemporary art. I‘d like to see contemporary art less elitaristic, more comprehensive and humanly satisfying, interesting and entertaining. The paintings should be based on an entertaining story or frame changes, taken from the laws and tradition of comic books and film making. They include dialogues and monologues of heroes, time prolongation aspects and various composition of frame switches. For me it must've been really “ understandable art ”. And thus was possible and easy to tell a story of a broken ideals like here. 

“ Next year in Jerusalem ” oil & canvas 1994  
Besides as the contemporary art manages without creation and creativity and became to be really boring, only artists occupied by comics, really makes interesting things. And knows how to draw too. In case the paintings are accompanied by a musical background and the show becomes a multimedia party, called by western art historitians "sequential art". For example her it's possible to be photographed on a background of Jerusalem with the good company of religious and secular Israelis. And from above, around of an inscription by gold characters “ Next year in Jerusalem ” run color bulbs for amplification effect of inaccessible dream. They were stolen two times.
“ Everything will be OK! ” oil & canvas 1996  

The far-fetched concepts do not find out in themselves even professional skills. I believe that sequential art is more interesting to consider, than some “actual” crap among contemporary art. And it has more way's to express ideas too. In this tragically allegory I represented a woman who is dropping out of the window from skyscraper. Superman flies to help her, and the advertising around inspire in different languages good luck hereafter. We'll never find out, than all was completed. The art does not give an exact answers, because “muses does not suffer vanity ”.
