Rinat Voligamsi’s Surreal Glimpses of Russia

December 11, 2016 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

Rinat Voligamsi is a Russian painter who retrieves vintage images of the Russian countryside and of military life and alters them in a surrealist fashion. The artist’s intervention provides a humorous view on the depicted subjects while introducing a mysterious and somehow dark atmosphere.
Archival images of the Soviet period are brought back to life to become fragments of an absurd narrative.
