Visually and thematically, his work has most affinity with the folkloric motifs and satirical mood of the Mitki group, with whom he also exhibited. <i>Fireworks </i>shows Lenin’s mausoleum in silhouette overlapping the Tsarskaya Tower behind. It is framed by the ancient Russian symbol of the fir tree but also irreverently co-opted as a stage for exuberant pyrotechnics.","physicalDescription":"Rectangular image (landscape format) printed in colour: pyramid-shaped structure seen in silhouette against a purple sky, flanked by two fir trees also in silhouette, firework trails and explosions in yellow and green shooting out from both sides.
