Russian Rules

Original title: Les règles russes

The Kremlin in a red haze, bristling with road signs.

A “danger” triangle crowns the clock tower and another is lettered “KGB”. In the foreground, among poppies, gilded triangles read “mafia” and “corruption”. And in the centre a no-entry sign strikes out a single name: Novoro. The painter has signed his picture at the precise spot where he is forbidden.

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.
