From Russia With Love

paint

Acrylic on wood panel - 100 x 100 cm

This portrait of Putin highlights the systemic repression of LGBTQIA+ people in Russia. The words that surround it - extracts from laws, state slogans, ... reveal a policy of oppression and institutionalized hatred.

By a stark contrast between the graphic aesthetic and the violence of the words, the work denounces the purges, tortures and propaganda of a regime that instrumentalizes fear to impose silence.
