About the artwork
The image of the artist's alter-ego, his famous "pioneer girl" from the "Komsomol" (Soviet youth), is recaptured in this series of drawings in a fairytale world filled with mushrooms. Although reminiscent of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", the artist's work is engaged against communist power and propaganda, bringing the viewer back to reality with black-and-white images supported by a gigantic mushroom.
Expert opinion
