Konstantin Zvezdochetov — Kossaks
Konstantin Zvezdochetov

Kossaks

2005

A dynamic and irreverent composition, Zvezdochetov's *Kossaks* combines plastic, paper collage, and acrylic on plywood to evoke the rowdy spirit and folklore mythology surrounding the iconic Cossack figure. The layered materials create a raw, tactile surface that reflects the artist's signature blend of Soviet nostalgia, irony, and underground humor. Rooted in the Moscow Conceptualist tradition, the work plays with cultural archetypes, transforming historical identity into a playful yet pointed visual statement.
