Brighter Days Are Coming

Author: SEPE

Title" "Brighter Days Are Coming"
Acrylic on 9m x 6m wooden panel.

 

Sankt Petersburg / Russia 2017


In cooperation with:
Urban Nation Berlin X Goethe Institute X Street Art Museum
Sankt Petersburg.

 

Topic: 
100th anniversary of October Revolution in Russia.

Description:
My painting is a pastiche of a painting by russian

artist Ilja Riepin titled „Kurskaya Korennaya” ilustrating

the Eastern procession in the district of Kursk. In my

artwork the holy insygnia are replaced by the huge

statue of golden idol – child carring a Kaloshnikov rifle.

It symbolizes revolution as a birth of an idea -

child that’s expected to grow up strong and healthy,

bringing its parents happyness and reasons for pride.

Instead of this it grows up for an unpredictable tyran

and soon terrorises his own parents.
The rescuer turns into the torturer.

Peacemaker turns into aggressor.

Planned rationalization and ‘brighter days’ brings violence

and oppression instead.

Work also strongly refers to current political situation in this region.
Bold head is not an accident...
