Artists are selected on the basis of: the worse the better. The artist have to work for entertainment of public and promotion of base instincts. I say because I know state of affairs in Russian art. There are many talented people in the province and nobody knows them. Only after their death we can hear ones names, when their paintings start to buy and to sell. The best artist is the dead artist. It is the law of the market. The famous artist in Russia is a lucky man or a talented businessman. But it is not art. Honestly speaking I don’t know anyone from very talented artists who has made a successful career in Russia. And the most famous example is the fate of the artist Valentin Massov. He created a truly new direction in art. But who did hear his name? We can admire of another culture and destroy ours one at the same time. It’s our life!

"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see . And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

This is my third animation film. "Supper with Picasso" is the title of my painting http://www.saatchiart.com/art/Paintin... and the title of the animation film. "Supper with Picasso" is not a story of everyday life. These are my thoughts about Art. I think contemporary art follows a false scent. This is surreal off-the-wall humor. This is my protest against abomination in the contemporary art. Picasso said:" The real artists are Giotto and Rembrandt, I'm just a clown, who understood his time". He was right.

"Out of chars and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders, the old years, the green years, might leap; roses sweeten the air, white hair turn Irish-black, wrinkles vanish; all, everything fly back to seed, flee death, rush down to their beginnings, suns rise in western skies and set in glorious easts, moons eat themselves opposite to the custom, all and everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits into hats, all and everything returning to the fresh death, the seed death, the green death, to the time before the beginning. A touch of a hand might do it, the merest touch of a hand." Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids.
