Vladimir Dubossarsky & Alexander Vinogradov
are known for their large scale paintings of pop-culture fantasy
worlds referencing the state-sanctioned Soviet style of Socialist
Realism. In a process similar to collage they borrow the fantastical
ideals of the mass media: they adopt the bright blue skies and
pristine smiling faces of escapist magazine spreads and combine
them into large-scale compositions inhabited by Hollywood stars,
perfect birthday cakes, family picnics in impossibly pastoral
scenes or dazzlingly unreal snow storms over pristine city-scapes.
Still working with the traditions of the Soviet picture-plane,
they play with scale to create new narratives and perspectives
in paintings that become immaculately resolved utopian worlds
of their own. |
