“Urban Antiquity # 5” by Sergey Smirnov conquers with his outstanding vision and extraordinary plot pursuing a new meaning.
The painting created on canvas, combines pop and street art, acrylic and spray paints. Straight in the centre, we see the head of an old figure depicted against the background of a bright, chaotic and colourful urban collapse. Interestingly, he managed to combine the dominant black with a bright fluorescent theme.
Antique sculpture seems to admire its reflection. But the artwork with a “glitch” effect, possibly talking about the transience of time, nowadays indifference to the past centuries. Painting is in mixed technology: acrylic, aerosol on canvas. The painting depicts an old head against the background of an urban colour collapse. The head is made with the effect of “glitch.”

Artist's Origin |
In 1999 Sergey Smirnov became interested in Hip-Hop culture, namely graffiti, this was the beginning of his career. Subsequently, the graffiti was relegated to the 2nd plan, replaced by street art and experiments on the canvas. In 200, at Cherepovets State University, the graphic art faculty began to try to paint on canvas from that moment. graduated in 2009
Main Directions Pop Art, Street Art. I experiment all the time, connect different styles and trends, work in unique combinations of pArtart, street art, and geometry, and add various textural elements (film, audio cassettes, CDs, Vinyl records). I like to use bright, saturated, sometimes fluorescent, acid colours in my works. The central part of my paintings are portraits, both famous people and little-known ones. In her artworks, she pays great attention to the beauty and expressiveness of women’s eyes, often emphasising this: inspiration scoop from different sources, Photo, video, film, the world, people.
I work closely with ancient forms and street culture (graffiti/street art / public art /visual art). The purpose ArtArt is to prolong the life of antiquity in the aesthetics of the modern city. The goal of each artist, while preserving and respecting the hereditary ones, is to contribute something of his own. My new series of works is called Urban Antiquity – I mix antiquity in it, unleaArtart and street tags, calligraphy and street art techniques. In this series, not only works on canvas but also custom shoes and clothes (painted leather and denim jackets, sneakers and boots)
