Komar & Melamid

Black and White Brothers Forever, 1980

Description

The recent work of the Russian conceptual artists Komar & Melamid plays off of the classical tradition of Socialist Realism of the late 40's and 50's. The specters of Stalin and Lenin haunt these paintings which further develop "SOTS-ART," a Soviet version of Pop Art created by the artists while living in Moscow in early 70's. The current exhibition consists of thirteen paintings rendered in a classical style reminiscent of the 17th century.
