1997 experiments introduction of contemporary art practice in street portraiture. (Between iconography and contemporary art).

In 1997, after the academic studies, I had the idea that for a portrait best academic salon, which is located somewhere between the iconography and contemporary art. Icons - this is the ideal form and canon and contemporary art - PR and advertising.


Earlier this year, I faced the problem of their advertising portrait products. At first I used the images of famous people. Then I realized that my advertising should be hypersexual. The more sexuality in advertising, the greater the desire among consumers and the demand increases production.



This issue was dedicated to ours, with Viktor Davydov, performance «Reproduction of consumer goods sexually.“ The performance was held at the Museum of Fine Arts, the exhibition POST ENEA, and our response was the cloning of Dolly the sheep. At the end of ‘97 performance material turned into a movie and was shown on television.



After the exhibition POST ENEA, Spruce, Mizin, Bulnygin and I went to Kazakhstan to paint the church of St. Nicholas. There I painted images of saints and donators profiles (for themselves), as well as trying to solve an image problem in the plane of the curve. The entire western painting, with its volumes and points of view out of this problem.



At the end of ‘97, I twice went to Moscow. For the first time, to copy at the Tretyakov Gallery, the second
to “TV show.” On the “TV shows” we did Davydov performance: dragged on a stretcher live Telekritika. Also on 7 November, I did a performance called “The Temple of copyright on the red blood cells.”


In 1997, I made a lot of things in the field of contemporary art. It was time to move to Moscow, (given the opportunity). But I did not go, I decided to first learn how to draw portraits.
