Alexander Brodsky - a famous artist «paper architecture». He now creates installations, which often uses random objects such as doors and windows of destroyed houses. His songs evoke memories of the different audiences the realities of Soviet and Russian life.

One of the main sources of inspiration for Paul Peppershteyna are the images of mass culture. In his works he often «combines nesochetaemoe» - for example, puts the characters of Russian folk tales in the space of a political cartoon. Phantasmagoric paintings and drawings the artist did not refuse to aesthetic and decorative appeal, but at the same time they constitute a caustic commentary on hot topics. Peppershteyn is one of the founders of the art group «Inspection of medical hermeneutics" », known for its critical attitude to the influence of Western culture in Russia.

Haim Sokol finds beauty in the objects thrown to the side of modern life. He vymenivaet among migrant workers at construction sites and various pelvis buckets and fills them «images of Russian life - shabby gray walls, dim lights, garbage, the realities of poverty and the inability to escape». Sokol remembers how after the revolution, people want to fight «nostalgia for the old life» and build a new future for the proletariat, and considers how these impact on the ambitions of the most vulnerable segments of society.

Pictures of Leonid Tishkov inhabit fantastic creatures, some of which resemble the drawings of internal organs - it is clear, said the experience of the author of gastroenterology. The artist creates a surrealistic world partly in order to preserve the memory of loved ones, in particular the mother and other family members. In addition to paintings, Tishkov makes installations, drawings and objects.

Stanislav Volyazlovsky not interested in mass culture, but rather subcultures. His series «Shanson Arts» Prison inspired aesthetics. The artist borrows images zekovskih tattoos, television advertising, fiction, crime and pornography. It draws on the various cloth vymochennyh in chifire - tightly sealed tea.
