Original artwork description:

Try to remember, where did you saw those ducks from the background, without looking on the painting's name. This painting is my way to pay respect our founding father and to show you how impressive gold works with blue.


The name of this series „Dorogie Kovriki“ could be translated as „expansive small rugs“. All paintings from the series are connected by a frontal composition with a sculpture look-a-like object and patterned background. Some defines these works as still life’s, other see them as part of pop-art movement, truth is somewhere in the middle. Alexander Lufer deliberately contraposes colors, shapes, meanings and patterns, because exactly this contrast helps him to find harmony and balance of every artwork of “Dorogie Kovriki” series. To confirm these concept artist uses a combination of an extremely realistic, clean and sleek performance and absolutely unrealistic plot. This series is especially appreciated by people prone to irony and self-irony. This series was a beginning of the “new age” for Alexander Lufer’s art.
