Oil painting
Bolshevism
Original title: Bolchevisme
Two sets of underwear on a blazing orange ground: an ideology in state-issue cotton.
On the left, a man’s vest and green shorts; on the right, a heroic brassiere and a pair of bloomers. A small gold star is pinned to the vest like a medal. Painted in 2000, the canvas looks back at the Soviet century through the most private and most standardised thing it produced. One size, as they say, fits all.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
