Vyacheslav Solodkin uses his ability of a poster-artist to crysallize the idea of a painting, put it into bright and succinct image. The deep, vivid inner world of the artist shows up in his paintings. Solodkin creates his own world of symbolic images different from the one in which ordinary people live. Pictorial art solution of Vyacheslav Solodkin are close to the poster style because of local poster background, conventionality of color, bright, almost grotesque images.
