Russian painter working in pop art genre
Vladimir Dubossarsky Vladimir Dubossarsky (Russian : Владимир Дубосарский ; born 1964) is a Russian painter working in pop art genre.
Since 1994 he performs in an art duet with Alexander Vinogradov. Both live and work in Moscow , Russia . In the early part of their career together they adopted the style of socialist realism , an officially sanctioned art practice under the soviet regime. Their early works resembled posters for non-existent thrillers and sleazy porn flicks. They worked with their idea of social order, laborers, collective farmers, etc. and put a modern twist on an outdated practice. Their result was a collection of ideas and themes that would make socialistic fantasies visible to the viewer.
In 2001, Dubosarsky and Vinogradov made a transition from the socialist fantasy to the ideals of mass media . Total Painting (2001) created a large scale image of mass culture from around the world borrowing ideas from advertising and mainstream media. Our Best World (2003) created a common ground for stars such as Sylvester Stallone , Spider-Man , Barbie , Madonna , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Marilyn Monroe , and even Picasso . The Underwater World (2002) was made for the Russian pavilion for the 50th Venice Biennale . The piece references ideas gathered from pop images such as mail order catalogs, and heroes in contemporary advertising.
