Untitled

<div>In this mural curated by Madrid’s urban art fair <a href="https://urvanity-art.com/">Urvanity</a>, the Russian artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maratdanilyan/">Marat Morik</a> combines his background in graffiti with his life-long passion for drawing and painting. Marat Morik’s current focus is ‘texture’, hence this collaged image where abstract and realism come together. The resulting piece is a multi-layered, multi-faceted portrait of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova.</div>

The Rhyme Of Things

<div>Marat is originally from Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, for a few years he has been living and working in Prague, Czech Republic. Throughout his career he has been one of the most important figures of Russian contemporary art, he is an active participant of international festivals and exhibitions.</div><div><br></div><div>His work is done in collage style. It reflects the events occurred on the home front, young people and children doing hard work instead of adults. The story is about lost childhood, toys put off when everybody contributed to the outcome of the day. Character-building of veterans and their successors is the Great Victory heritage.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The work plot can be viewed from top to bottom: this way the released balloons symbolize veterans and warriors who passed away, very young girls are the main characters who had to grow up fast putting off their toys, a kid’s drawing of a soldier, soil layers as some kind of archives and subsoils which we inherited from our predecessors.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Memory stays in our personal memories, our language, our culture and the memory of the soil, layer after layer keeping the things occurred on its surface and safeguarding it for future generations. Our skills and experience should be passed to future generations, experience of mistakes and successes serving the common good.<br><br>///</div><div>Memorandum 2020<br>project created and curated by Supernova Art Embassy<br>www.iskraneft.ru</div><div><br></div>

Memorandum 2020 - Lost Childhood by Marat Morik (Prague)

<div>The subject of the mural is a man going to a fish market.<br><br>Marat Morik: "I was drawn by the brutality and violence of the pescheria. I have paired it with the picture of the asphalt I took at the airport on my way to the festival. This mix of retro and new, the cliché and perceptive is what make Italy a very special place and what I wanted to show in my mural".</div>

One Day Collage

<div>Mural "Growing up"&nbsp; was created on the wall of building #7 of the Polytechny Institute in Kyiv and it is dedicated to the development of technology.&nbsp; 20 years ago, punch cards and 5-inch floppy disks were used for the computer and this was a breakthrough. And now, who will remember about them?&nbsp;<br>On the mural is &nbsp; the legendary Ukrainian scientist Sergey Pavlovich Korolev at a young and mature age. Without him, humanity’s breakthrough into space would not have happened. It was under his leadership that the first satellite was launched.</div>
