Reflection. Painting

Reflection. 2009 The work was created in honor of the Ukrainian writer Mykola Gogol. Rudi Panko, according to the writer's plan, was a beekeeper who every evening narrates his stories cruel, interesting, humorous. All the coloring of the ancient Ukrainian mysteries, fantasies and simply an incredible color of life, exaggerated in his phantasmagoria. “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka” had already been written, but one more problem remained to be solved. The stories collected under the cover of "Evenings ..." looked too diverse in style and content. To remove this contradiction, Pletnev advises Gogol to come up with some kind of connecting figure that can deflect critics from himself. Such a figure was a certain fictional “publisher of Evenings ...” - beekeeper Rudyy Panko - in whose name there was a hidden reference to the real author (Panko is the name of Gogol’s grandfather)
