If you thought Monumentale was a bit zzzzzz..., here is a new one - on steroids.
And a b&w detail to satisfy the interest of the artistic community ;-)

Monumentale
Well, this is the first large format (1x1m). A bit wild but tends to captivate the sight as every time you seem to find a new detail to stare at...
The Moo
This one is soon heading over the Atlantic to someone whose thinking I admire.

Swivel
It goes around and around and around...

Before and after the Star Wars
This one is still drying, the Stardom. Or the Star Wars, whichever you prefer.
I've been asked about how I get this 3-D effect, what the gel is (do you use hair gel??), etc. So here is an intimate peek into how this one was made (admittedly, it does look quite naked without the touch of colour).

Fresh out of the oven
Initially code-named "India", this one has been renamed into "Holi", the Indian Colors festival. Why? Well, the recipient is Indian and quite daring to introduce this bright animal into her home...
The rope has gone wild from under the gel, taking life of its own while drying.

The Rainbow
After my "art invasion" into the office space with the Cow, I went ahead and asked my colleagues in the neighbouring room whether they'd like any touch of color for their space. They didn't make my life easy voting pretty much for the full range of rainbow spectrum. That's how the Rainbow was born. First experiment with the true 3-D composition and multiple layers, and the gel too.

The Loop
Seems the Cow made friends in the office. A colleague of mine liked the beast, so I suggested to paint something for her office too. Amazing how much a non-descriptive office can turn into something more personal with this stuff. Of course if you can stand this "art".
Right now this one is patiently waiting under my desk till my colleague returns from her vacation. With a verdict: to hang or not to hang (the painting).
The Orange
Inspired by my cat Krolik (meaning "Rabbit" in Russian, just to add to his list of self-identity issues), who is a copy of Garfield in all respects.
New play with coarse gel medium (cool pimples on surface which are hard to appreciate on the screen). And then painting with hands deep in acrylic, splashing paint with fingers. That's what childhood feels like.
