Rinat Voligamsi
Voligamsi (or Rinat Fazletdinovich Ismagilov), is a Russian painter and sculptor born 1968. He was conscripted into the Red Army in 1988, but left only one year later to return to his studies.
His work consists of paintings, many of which are based on old Soviet newspapers, and sculptures made with distorted proportions. Part of what creates his surrealist style is his method of studying these newspapers and then recreating them from memory.
These works are both humorous and bleak in their depictions of Soviet and neo-Soviet iconography still prevalent in Russia today, made with a focus on challenging Russian authority. Centred on the cultish atmosphere of war and the denunciation of the military, Voligamsi creates many of his works using bitumen which is the main component in asphalt. This is essentially a metaphor for propaganda created by big media companies in Russia rolling over opponents to the regime.
