"Psychedelic Snail"

"Psychedelic Gelman"

One of the most ardent critics of the policies of the authorities of the Perm region and personally of the governor of the Kama region Oleg Chirkunov , the blogger “Antichirkunov”, came up with a new project. In his LiveJournal, an online opponent of the governor began publishing a series of caricatures of famous Perm characters called “Psychedelic Perm Region.” “The cycle will include the sub-cycles “Psychedelic Chirkunov”, “Psychedelic Gelman”, “Psychedelic Budget”. The “Psychedelic Perm Territory” project will contribute to even more persistent promotion of the region, increasing its investment attractiveness, and allocating additional federal tranches,” Antichirkunov wrote.

Obviously, the blogger was inspired to create the cycle by a series of works by St. Petersburg artist Grigory Yushchenko entitled “Magic Psychedelic Police,” exhibited at the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art, headed by Marat Gelman. The paintings in popular print depicted the everyday life of Russian police officers. Among the paintings in the series you can find such works as “Police Major Evgeniy Pyznar squeezes out a pimple”, “Police Sergeant Gennady Shpikachkin sharpens a hatchet” and the like. The project of the St. Petersburg artist outraged the head of the Prikamye Central Internal Affairs Directorate Yuri Gorlov , who demanded that the regional prosecutor's office take action against the artist.

The Antichirkunov project already has several cartoons. Among them, for example, is “Psychedelic Snail,” which, according to the author’s plan, embodies the collective unconscious of the region, as well as “Psychedelic Gelman.” All paintings drawn so far can be viewed on BLOG . the Antichirkunov
