"Lady Gagarin is a spoiler/meme icon. The image of a superstar multiplied by the image of a superhero. The presented work from the series "Prose of the absurdity of everyday life", at first glance, may seem like an Internet meme. The artist combines photographs from magazines or specially printed photos and paints them with acrylic paint, changing some details: the characters' facial expressions, color, clothes. He also adds an important dimension - the phrase. The text of the phrase is practically literary: it's a plot, an unfolding storyline with room for euphemisms, irony and metaphor at the same time." Aleksandr Kazella
