Bilder, die er in Erzeugnissen der Massenkultur vorfindet, werden von vom Künstler mit seiner persönlichen Erfahrung verwoben und so zu einem neuen und anderen Leben erweckt. Grisha Bruskin zeigt die Sakralisierung des Trivialen, die hypnotische Wirkung von Kunst und Bildern im Allgemeinen und die Instrumentalisierung bildlicher Darstellung für die Manipulation des menschlichen Bewusstseins.

This is the Artbook of the Russian surrealistic painter Victor Safonkin (1967) . He declares himself a surrealist. He focused partarially on the level of mythic surrealism an partially on fantasy art. From the point of vieuw of wordwide development, we can more accurately classify Safonkin’s work as a close to that of the German and Austrian paiters’ veristic surrealism, which focuses on relationships between human being and nature.

"Arkady Petrov (b.1940) is one of the most well-known artists from the "men of the seventies" generation, in whose creative work are reflected both unique individuality and the typical features of the art of this time. Over a few decades Petrov has been continuously evolving in painting, remaining, however, true to his selected themes. The main motif of Petrov's art is the life and culture of the Soviet province in the mid-XX century, more broadly,-the life of "the simple Soviet man" as the particular case of the "little man", one of the defining traditions in Russian culture. The artist brings new meaning to the stereotypes of Soviet Society, looking at them through the prism of kitsch subjects, images of national mass culture-from aniline coloured postcards to the portraits of Alla Pugacheva. Petrov transformed the impersonal aesthetics of kitsch into a gallery of distinctive and deeply perceived human types, at the same time naive and epic, into a unique section of the epoch." -- Book Jacket.
