Siberian Monument for Putin
(own work, 400 x 400 x 1000 cm * acrylic, wood, iron and mixed media * 2012)
Politicians have too often produced anti-artistic megalithic monuments, starting already in Antiquity. Tottering dictatorships lead to ultra-ugly oversized edifices meant to convince the masses that all is well and the powers that be are just.
Recent conviction of fellow artists of Pussy Riot to 2 years of prison camp has forced me to abandon my apoliticality. Behold therefore the Russian Bear in all its current glory.
