I don't think I can make any blanket statements about these, because there are several different themes running through them......and some are really separate from the others, like the Icarus one. But there do seem to be a few general categories. Ie: his theme that women's sexuality has become hyper-commodified in Russia and that this is negative for both men and women in different ways.....and his separate theme of recasting old fairy tales in light of contemporary social situations. But then there is this other theme of how reductionist it feels to be a worker, just a paid role holder. This is an old theme from the Soviet days, and he is utilizing images that have a long history in anti-Soviet art, incorporating both the robot-man and the capitalist pig in some interesting ways here. I really like his surrealist style.

It is illustration that what a man thinks about women and what women thinks about men. 1. empty brain, talk without thinking.. 2. so much indulged in sexual desires so they forget their own blood.. 3. one lonely girl, one girl wth 2 boys and two boys watching the same girl 4.. girls are not watching the two men murder but focus on the affair of a girl and boy 5. pict below is the ideas of two women and what they think about men.. 6. all men are pig :D.. 7. womens virginity.. 8. traffic block 9. man is wasting money on female and she is destroying it... 10. social animal. 11. s**t and a hungry pig.. 12. thinking of church sister because of cutting off from the society. 13. what a guy wants.. 14. modern man is a robot 15. women completing men desires 16. fast life 17. modern kids :D 18. 1973 mass murder 19. everyone wants to eat u 20. want her to come out of the picture.. 21. how to dodge a wolf and brave modern girls :P 22. hard outside soft inside 23. dead women dead fishes..

excellent use of art as language beyond words... as it ought to be.... brilliantly crafted... perspectives, tones, expressions are all spot on... one made me look at another...

Half of them I totaly understood, the other half...npt as much xD But any way these are awesome! Great work!

I think the "unsuccessful contact with a Large iron swing" that ol' Waldemar had when he was young, did a lot more damage than he thinks. Except for a couple of these paintings, I can't even make s**t up that might make sense. Guy can sure paint though.

very good... I like!

Like the storytelling, but am I the only one, who thinks his style is almost too close to Juanjo Guarnado's?

I don't understand the painting about Jesus and the nuns.

I think these are incredible.

Balance the attitude with decades of Russian men being killed in wars and these all make a sad kind of sense.

So much obvious jealousy amongst comments here, these illustrations are undeniably skillful and well executed. As far as controversy and 'hidden' messages, cmon people its 21st century, message is pretty forward and dated. And most of these look like plain fun story/magazine illustrations, with no intention to criticize...

Basically I didn't understood any of these. Is this suppose to be funny?

They are amazing, but I don't understand a couple of them, like the one where people is eating sanitary paper.

That he's not having such a great time and he watched a lot of Disney films . ..... Not a fan, sorry.

Saw the Robin Hood one on the front page. My second thought was, 'Why does she just have an apple on her butt?'

I hate them :-)

Sex sells, you can show nothing in a drawing only sexy chick and people will love it, that´s it, I don´t see criticizing society or mind opining ideas, except him openly calling all men pigs and women should always look the same :tall, long legs, big boobs, big lips, I think once in my life I saw already something even more boring and limited then this
