About The Artwork

''This is devoted to all revolutions from 1917, which began in Russian Empire in that year and continues to today... 'The spectre of Communism', Karl Marx' expression about the political and social situation in Europe, is still actual to my mind not only in Europe, but in the whole world — lots of revolutions, putches, wars, horrible things. My work is a kind of warning for billionaires of all the countries to think over what is happening. The spectre of Communism is still alive. I depicted it as a hooded figure with Molotov Cocktail, burning in his hand. The background is Moscow (Kremlin), Statue of Liberty in New York… Some details in the foreground: Coca Cola, contemporary pop symbol; Washington Post newspaper with 'Occupy Wall-Street' events... Also a newspaper about recent Ukrainian events with Nadiya Savchenko (the authorities now blame her in preparing of pro-Russian putch in Ukraine. She is in prison now under the investigation. Background also shows features of communist revolution in Russia in 1917, contemporary life, the girl maybe celebrity, the image of a frightened billionaire, etc, the cracking world''・ (http://www.theballpointer.com/)

"Serhiy Kolyada got in hot water with Kyiv's art establishment with his ballpoint-on-construction paper productions, portraying Kyiv as a melancholy zone of shadows. Check out his Web site (www.kolyada.com) to see his nude or semi-nude women depicted against shadowy backgrounds of corporate slogans. It's art as social commentary: gutsy reflections on money, power and gender issues in Ukraine." (50 Great Things About Kyiv, KYIV POST, Oct 20, 2004) "...Serhiy Kolyada's politically infused ballpoint pen drawings have left him virtually ignored by galleries in his home country of Ukraine. Publicity comes mostly through English language media and a majority of sales to foreign clients via private viewings and online galleries... Kolyada works in black ballpoint, using other mediums and collage occasionally to add color. In 2006, religious themes and "the mystical side of life" became subjects of interest to the artist..."
