Oleg Zaika . "Flight to the Moon ."

The name of the anniversary exhibition of Oleg Bunny "Flight to the Moon" - refers to the novel by Nikolai Nosov , a fairy tale , " Dunno on the Moon" , published almost 50 years ago. This book has become the ABC approach to life and a part of the artistic mythology generation era of change - a prophetic parable of modern society. " Dunno " - funny, smart , kind of simple-minded and foolish , dandy and a little dude - can be considered as one of the cultural heroes of the Soviet era. There is something in the native "New artists ' no accident that all together they looked like a group of cheerful men, invented Nosov.
Can of condensed milk , canned meat "Moscow ", a roll of toilet paper , " 54 m ", a matchbox - in a monumental format of classic pop art - is branded by Oleg Bunny rise of the Romantic era "New Artists" . These things are one of those " fundamental vocabulary " of the Soviet people became heroes of the artist is not accidental. Before the collapse of the country in the early 90s from the usual poludefitsita they suddenly become " endangered species ". It's not up social art with its critical mine , dashing painting without the figs in your pocket - an accurate portrait of a hungry time , fun and risk the life of drive, - then these subjects closer to the canvas Knave of Diamonds , a sweeping " action painting areal ."
In addition to the arsenal of the discoveries of the time - and "designer" - the game is to combine household items , signs and emblems of the carpet - like scheme or rebus , did not attract him alone , but also colleagues , dadaist freely constructed on the new canvas " meaningless ." Sometimes in lace fantastic chip flash of the Amusing smiley little man , as if from " Dunno on the Moon ." This game is absurd , the creation of new connections between things , rather , in their formal plastic rhyme with each other , rather than functional, in common "New Artists" with the widest range of non-art traditions , from minimalism to conceptualism V.Pivovarova L. Borisov of grotesque K. Zvezdochetova to expressionism B. Koshelohova etc.
Oleg Zaika appears almost immediately , since the end of the 80 managed to find his own style, which he now feels free to continuing to develop findings and opening the era of " flight ."
World lucre , open Dunno on the Moon , was , unfortunately, the reality of modern Russia . He did not pass and our heroes , "New Artists" . Flying to the moon remained in the heroic past.
Although , says Oleg: " I do not think that flying thing of the past ...
Art can exist independently , despite the mud left behind. "
