Kuzbass project of Ilya Gaponov and Cyril Kotešová on painting techniques — upward to the murals of the Soviet era "quick letter", full of big, decisive strokes, but in the part of composition devoid of typical for this genre carefully constructed narrative-символических designs. The significant element here is used for painting, unusual material — "Kuzbass-лак". Chemically it is one of the fractions of coal processing. The image of coal — one of the essential components of romance of technological progress of the XIX century. He — the main food for the fire-breathing steam machines allowed man to finally establish its dominance over nature. For this romance hides the horror and hell on earth, covered in corrosive coal dust, mining settlements, and the dead are mountains of waste piles. The going underground here — part of daily life. The silence of death — part of the profession. Team — Spartan military community. Brigadier — God and the demiurge. The mine is a temple: here clothed, fed, cured and buried with honors. Time seems frozen in this point of space. And nurtured on a mosaic mural, wall murals and easel portraits of the Soviet era, the scenic aesthetics of the monumental painting Department of Mukhina school suddenly takes on an awesome fresh sound, the description does not advocate heroics, but the drama of the forgotten heroes of "underground front". Stakhanov died, socialism died, postmodernism is dead.
Miner — is alive!
