Sergey Bunkov

Acrylic on paper, 40 X 60 cm.

Chaos of smoke and fire, burning, emitting from the body, and surrounding it. Threateningly hunched down, a skewed and questioning look with narrowed eyes: whether to surrender or attack. It is not the famous centaur, or the well-known minotaur, but a creature created by the artis to embody basic instinct of defence and attack.

The present echoes in the work of Bunkov. A more than ever chaotic reality. There is no need to get into negligible details such as place and time. That which is burning is the situation itself, releasing demons on the inside and out.
