Mysterious Lenin

Painting: Oil on Canvas. This is an oil painting on the found soviet-era portrait of Karl Marx. The canvas is a little damaged. In 2015 the Ukrainian government banned all symbols and images associated with the USSR. But numerous oil portraits, sculptures, monuments and other images of Lenin began to be removed from public places decades before the "decommunization laws". What happened to the hundreds of thousands portraits of former Soviet leader? Many of them are already destroyed. Some of them had been left in attics or basements. Oleksandr is looking for all these forgotten things and giving them a new life and a new artistic content.

From Oleksandr Balbyshev , Ukraine
