A burlesque juggling with archetypes, depersonalization of the author’s touch, blending of methods and languages — the army of the middle class in Alexander Savko’s painting successfully desacralizes and dehypnotizes the Soviet ideology in the best traditions of social art. Even the selected hues remind of the dull oil paint colors used to paint fences in Soviet times.
