MIXED MEDIA. 'SECRET DRAFTS' SERIES. 2018-2023

“Huts and doctors” is a story about everlasting struggle between knowledge and innovation on one side and tradition and natural roots on the other. These two kind of forces personified in images of endless interaction of fighting and loving, chasing and giving up huts and doctors. Their adventures are reflected in “secret drafts” and wooden objects, which remind of old cinema stills.

OBJECTS. PYROGRAPHY. 2013-2016

Small adventures like “Alice in Wonderland” grow into sagas like “the Lord of the Rings” populated by heroes, villains and mystic creatures. “Doctors/Huts” is a kind of series with familiar characters. We know their dispositions and habits, and we find it endlessly interesting to observe their trials and tribulations in an ingenious plot woven from the past and the future, avoiding the present. For example, doctors today no longer wear white hats with red crosses. Huts on chickens’ legs are displaced from fairytales by new characters, but in the myths and legends of Boris Kazakov they are alive, muscular and in places even very sexy, just like bad boys should be. Rock’n’roll is dead, but the romantism of

necrorealism and the “new savages” lives on!
