description

Ink, paper.

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the USA.

The large work looks like wall graffiti. It is filled with a dense pattern of simplified and abstract figures and is saturated with a wide variety of images. In the center, there is a man with a cross over which angels soar, and below are strange creatures resembling dogs with open mouths full of sharp teeth. Panic and confusion reign among the people: some scatter in fear, while others raise their hands in a sign of supplication and humility. In general, the painting in the style of street graffiti has an apocalyptic look and resembles films about the invasion of aggressive aliens.
