Virgin (2019) Painting by Sergei Krupkin

Today the artist's creative demon has blown up the realistic world of his own painting with screaming symbols of modern art madness. We see how a bright parasitic mold grows on the clean, virgin, academic surface of the canvas - an attempt to get into the stream of Contemporary Art. The prodigal ugly product of the postmodern era, which distorted, as in a crooked mirror, the crystal of high realism, academicism, romanticism. Now it hurts to look at the picture as if it were stricken with leprosy. Bloody smudges of paint on the snow-white body of a horse, a wagon soiled with monkey excrement, which once, at the dawn of the painting, was trimmed with burgundy brocade and an aristocratic couple sat on it ... Everything was beautiful and chic, like in a fairy tale.
But there is no longer a couple in the picture, from fright they ran away somewhere, having done something. The elusive Banks put his mark in red and white ... the idyllic space of the painting is now all littered and desecrated. On top of the real canvas of the painting, in place of dense green trees, there is a row of multi-colored dots of Demyan Hirst, ending in a dirty curse, most likely Demyan did not have time to get ahead of a competitor - a fellow countryman. And he is indignant. The author is an academician artist, Romantic, just for all he just left the picture in his studio without removing it from the easel, took activated charcoal before going to bed, and in the morning received "this". And now the atmosphere in the image has been reborn into a fantastic mystery without characters. The flying saucer showed the author's attitude to spirituality .. (he has it off scale!)
Summing up, we can say: Someone managed to get into the two-dimensional dimension of the author's painting and hooligan, and someone remained in our imperfect world. Perhaps the artist made it clear who he sympathizes with more, or who of the three he puts in first place.
