Pavel PeppersteinThe sources that feed into the arresting paintings and engagingly fanciful drawings of Pavel Pepperstein (b.1966) are derived from his investigations into the imagery, symbols and signs of mass culture. A co-founder of the experimental group of artists “Inspection Medical Hermeneutics” (which adopted a critical position towards the influence of Western culture on Russia), Pepperstein is adept at producing works that are seductively beautiful but often bitingly poignant. The softly whimsical treatment helps the viewer accept the bizarre marriages that exist between figures, such as characters from Russian fairytales with political cartoons, as does the convincingly consistent staging of his dramas in dream-like wonderlands.
