. Autobiographical notes
.
. Developing and deepening the basic artistic principles of Conceptualism and Sots Art, . I work at the intersection of aesthetic and social spaces, . ensuring complete interchangeability of cultural and social character, . that allows virtually unlimited expansion in the aesthetic social (political, . household, . historical) spheres,
. Social characters introduced into the product of certain segments of the public, mass consciousness, and exposing their sign nature, I - the artist, overcome the forced assignments, automatic reactions of contemporary cultural thinking. Such art to modern society - a kind of aesthetic therapy, something that helps the individual to preserve the possibility of a complete identity in the face of sometimes excessively proliferating social fetishes

. Of course, there can be no question about routine proportional mapping momentary political situation - let us leave these worries sociological services, political scientists and others of that ilk. Researchers of the artist is interested not only and not the most massive movement in their typicality and relevance, . but some of the excesses - perhaps, . numerically small, . but vivid in its specificity: this is, . example, . St. Petersburg group "Moli", . expressing the interests of the "pink" sexual minorities and numbering, . rumored, . only four participants (work "Do you want my golosN").,
. Generally, . cycle saturated candid reminiscences, . allusions, . striking disparate visual quotations - frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, . Ancient sculpture, . Russian icon, . modern erotic and kulturistskih journals,
. By, . not hide a certain amount of sarcasm, . Open pedaliruet referring to these cultural, . like intrusive, . and over again showing us what he saw in a dreamy inner vision "through the window to Europe" kinship of our socio-political microcosm global context, . as historical, . that is obvious and high classics, . and topical, . petty-domestic, . up to the level bahtinskogo "lower stratum",
. "We are the same as them - as if to persuade us Kantorov, but we fully hear that his voice had no conviction, no enthusiasm, and that's the" opposite effect "and, it appears, in fact, the author's task. ..
