Paintings on plastic, foam cardboard Religious procession in Kursk province

In the picture, you can observe a large crowd of people accompanying the procession of the procession, in which the miraculous icon is carried to the holy place where it first appeared to people. But the artist tried to convey not only the procession itself, but to show rural life in Russia, depicting a huge variety of images seen in this province. From the marching crowd, it is clear that people belong to different segments of the population, among whom inequality and disenfranchisement reign. In the center of the crowd, you can observe a richer class, and the poor are attached to the edges, who are harshly pushed away from the center of the procession by formidable police gendarmes. You can see them sitting on horses, yelling at people, and one of the gendarmes even swung a whip at a peasant. Peering into the crowd, you can snatch out various images, then with an expression of importance, arrogance – from the rich, and from the poor – humility and humility. Everything is natural in the picture: a dusty lump in the distance, dirty rags of clothes and golden vestments, stumps from felled trees, and most importantly individuality in each image.
