as a union of history and modernity, ukranian artist alexey kondakov juxtaposes figures from the history of art with contemporary landscapes and scenes. the ongoing series ‘the daily life of gods’ sees classical paintings brought to everyday life, seamlessly integrated into the existing urban fabric. carefully photoshopped onto buses, down alleyways, and in stores, caravaggio’s ‘david and golliath’, william-adolphe bouguereau’s ‘nymphs and satyr’, and cesar van everdingen’s ‘bacchus’ — to name a few — seemingly become part of daily life in kiev. perfectly-executed shadows and light between the two otherwise desperate images give the resulting pictures a painterly quality, forming the impression of a new era where mythological creatures and religious figures meet contemporary urban existence.

Good thinking – well executed.

LOL! Real pieces of art. Context is everything. You made my day. And the upcomming ones. Thanks!
Fantastica! Bravo!
Imagine the Sistine Ceiling in Metro Center Red Line (Subway), Washington, DC.
Brilliant
You nailed it Alexey. I’ll bet if you showed in the museums side by side to the originals you’ll get more views and much more praise & may be you’ll get the younger generation interested in classical art. I hope this happens for you may be not in a museum but surely in a gallery and you can sell your signed prints by truck loads! BRAVO INDEED
These are really beautiful and meaningful. Well done Alexey!!!

thankyou!
Mi chiedo che reazione scatenerebbero le stesse opere messe nel contesto della loro epoca. A ben guardare i montaggi di Kondakov mi sembra non abbiano il minimo senso.
Alexey, This fantastic idea would be perfect as a series of calendars. It is a beautifully accomplished
work of genius. Congratulations on a brilliant concept.
