Nikolai Kopeikin - no less than the legendary and mysterious figure than said Gogol in "Dead Souls" Captain Kopeikin. For years, residents of St. Petersburg bugged satirical postcards and posters, readily used by office workers for decorating jobs. Funny. But it is scary, because it does not understand "why?" And "over someone laugh?" But at themselves. Once the author said that many of his works are evil, and even gave a name to this evil, "cartoon realism." Artist frankly admits that he sees the manifestation of evil and knows what his face is not by chance because of the author anthropomorphic bears and elephants, animal manifestation of man and the human in the animal.
Phenomenon, celebrated by Kopeikin, gradually disappear, and maybe just change shape. In any case, sooner or later they will catch up brush martial artist. Kopeikin common with the satirical tradition not only topical themes and images. Behind the mask painter hiding the true intellectual, whose efforts are not aimed at improving the means of expression, and on the interpretation of social reality.
Whatever informed us about yourself loving hoax Nikolai Kopeikin, indicating that the birth place of Berlin in 1936, the city Puhtograd, he can not hide from us is quite good-natured smile. But you should not pull the beard of Santa Claus: let this be a painter as Nikolai Kopeikin. Kopeikin Polyubopytstvuyte themselves increasingly possible to contemplate that on the stage in the musical collective NOM, then as a movie actor.
