The illustrated album introduces the works of the Moscow Region artist Alexei Kudelin, who took the pseudonym Vasya Lozhkin, who began to acquaint the public with his paintings and during this time gained wide popularity, primarily due to his active presence in the Internet space. Vasya Lozhkin also participated in exhibitions of the St. Petersburg group "Witch Artists". In the Central House of Artists, viewers will be able to see 47 paintings and several installations of the author. Vasya Lozhkin works in the genre of a kind of anti-lubok, where the conventionality of the image and the widespread use of fairy-tale or, rather, pseudo-fairy attributes are combined with tough plots and black humor, which is often reflected in the rather gloomy coloring of many of his works. However, lately the paintings of Vasya Lozhkin are more characterized by the brightness of colors and an optimistic mood. According to the artist, he is not interested in the surrounding reality: "I depict a fabulous fictional world. Sometimes it is a world of psychosis and all kinds of borderline states, sometimes it's scary, but still it's a fairy tale with a good ending." The invented world of Lozhkin, however, is so closely in contact with our reality, its everyday, socio-psychological and even political conflicts, that the border sometimes becomes indistinguishable. Lozhkin's work is most appropriately suited to the common phrase "his work will not leave anyone indifferent." The artist clearly does not set himself the task of shocking the public, nevertheless, his works are definitely "catchy", directly appealing to the myths and archetypes that exist in society, phobias and ideals of a particular viewer, regardless of whether the paintings depict people, hares or Lozhkin's favorite cats. The first solo exhibition, and even at such a status venue as the Central House of Artists, is certainly an achievement, and at the same time a test for a young artist. And one more opportunity to imagine how well the authors who have successfully mastered the media sphere are ready to organically fit into the framework of the traditional format. However, these tests await not only the artist, but also the audience. Those who are familiar with the work of Vasya Lozhkin on the Internet will have to test their likes or dislikes with new impressions, while others will have to, without succumbing to "anger and predilection", draw their own conclusions about what they see.
