Alexander Vinogradov and Vladimir Dubossarsky Summer 1 2001 oil on canvas 57.75″ x 77.5″ [photo taken of installation, evincing uneven ambient lighting]
Now that I’ve checked out the artists, and know something about what they’re up to, my on-sight seduction at the Armory by this cutesy, sexy, pretty, porny, realisty, fairie and quite funny painting by Russians Alexander Vinogradov and Vladimir Dubossarsky makes better sense to me. I love the fat flying penguins and the quite-thick-around-the-middle youth with the four rosy cheeks. Deitch Projects showed the painting.
I also noticed the title, and the date of the painting’s completion. Was it before or after that beautiful summer day “when our world changed forever”?
