Description

About the artwork
I painted the drawing of 6 years old boy from Mariupol on top of Lenin's found soviet-era portrait. Little Lev made that drawing in April 2022 when he with his family were hiding in the Azovstal bunkers from russian firing. The boy portrayed the bombing, wounded people, and the gray dog from the shelter. The text on the drawing: "Adults and children know new signs. If gray barks, this means that missiles fly."

Lenin, with his red army, occupated my country in 1922. They murdered millions of Ukrainians and other nations. But people worldwide don't consider Lenin a murderer and terrorist because he won.

And now Lenin's successor from the Kremlin tries to destroy an independent Ukraine and pull it into Moscow's deadly hug. The world must not allow Putin to win.

The canvas is a little damaged.

Concept

Male sexuality and sensuality are the most important themes in his art, and he uses the human figure to explore worlds within worlds. He additionally reinterprets iconic symbols of the USSR, including modified portraits of Lenin and other Soviet leaders that have since been banned in Ukraine. Balbyshev ultimately achieves an artistic aesthetic marked by powerful pops of color, mystical surrealist elements, decorative qualities of kitsch, and absurd aspects reminiscent of dadaism.
