Graphic cycle "Posters" - includes about 2000 hand-painted artwork, made on paper 100x70 cm, mixed media (acrylic, gouache, pencils, ballpoint pen and markers). The idea of cycle briefly is a kind of ironic resurrection of good old items of eighties of previous century - picture that bares name of a famous band or artist which could be hung on a wall.
About artist’s signature in this cycle:
Melo-maniacs of a specific sort know that surname Swansong contains obvious contaminations - Swans were my obsession for a long time,i made many posters dedicated to their albums and songs. Than there is a beatiful track Sing Swan Song in a fabulous record Ege Bamyasi of divine band Can - so i sort of “sang” that “song for rather a time - but lately changed my aka and chose Mikha Benks - that refers a bit ironically to when i was eight and leaded a role of Michael Banks in than soviet movie Mary Poppins Is Back
