Aesthetics of the artist, a major representative of sots art, is shaped by his country origins and his training as a professional sculptor at the same time. With his "folklore" vision and close attention paid to the shape and material, he produced unique wood objects, which never fail to have an effect on the viewer thanks to their rough "market-fair" nature. The artist's objects are plain in their shapes, brightly coloured and, most importantly, mobile, harking back to mobile handcrafted toys. These objects, with their design based as it is on ideologically loaded content of Soviet political fetishes, rid the latter of their vitality, making them literally fall to pieces under your very eyes to become attributes of harmless slapstick. The symbols of communist Utopia, which claimed to bring history to its culmination point and overcome time, turn out to be organically integrated into the tradition of lowbrow culture, with their affected comic "interactivity" helping the viewer undergo psychological catharsis.
