About the new “iron curtain” between Russia and the USA. The painting was planned as a headliner of a large exhibition "My intimate America" - the United States in the eyes of Russian artists. Unfortunately, it have not been materialized (yet). While our leaders create the illusion of the "iron curtain" between our countries, the famous clown Ronald McDonald remains the most recognizable symbol of food to children and adults both in the United States and Russia. Restaurants McDonald's are islands of America's image which was built in the eyes of Soviet people. The image of a fairy-tale country of dream, abundance and freedom. Where you can escape from the drab routine of unfinished communism. Traitors country which should not been once again spoken about. Country of sweet sexual secrets and of forbidden art. America remains in our hearts despite fading of freedom and democracy myths - such as we dreamed of her, as we imagined it in our innermost fantasies - with popcorn and jeans, cozy cafes and crazy teenagers, skyscrapers and road adventures .

MILA ARBUZOVA Mila Arbuzova was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia in 1973. Having graduated from Saint-Petersburg's University of Humanities and Social Sciences, she worked as a journalist at the different art and cultural magazines. At the same time she began her own artist's experiments. Mila Arbuzova spent her childhood in the downtown of Saint Petersburg. Her family lived in a block of flats in Grazhdanskaya Street where, according to Dostoevsky's famous novel "Crime and Punishment", the old female moneylender killed by Rodion Raskolnikov used to live. In Soviet times guides often showed foreigners the place where the legendary murder occurred. Maybe this location of the native house made an influence on the future artist. The art work of Mila Arbuzova is essentially "Saint-Petersburg's": lyrical, strict, sometimes - tragicomocal, philosophical, serious and absurdist in the same moment. It includes a wide range of subjects: the sarcastic sketches in the spirit of "social art" as well as the magical  fantastic pictures together with free compositions combining parts of realistic images in a surrealistic manner. Contemporary Russian Art despite its visual diversity tends to simplify so that its painting mainstream is becoming more and more schematic and conditional due to both accelerated tempo of modern life along with its formalization and current art market conjuncture. In contrast to this tendency works of other Russian artists tend to re-establish classical painting culture as independent elitist art form which can be appreciated only by the narrow circle of fans and art hedonists of special kind. Mila Arbuzova's paintings combine the realistic painting's techniques (including attention to details, subtle color nuances, harmonious composition solutions) with actual social issues, absurd sense of humor and lyricism. All these features traditionally characterize art of St. Petersburg. In her paintings the principles of both figurative and abstract art are incarnated. Abstraction, however, does not play a merely decorative role: you can be sure that it is integrated into the plot. All Arbuzova's work deal with a few major themes: politics, beach, portrait, sport and dance. Also Mila Arbuzova is an author and inspirer of the international women's art project "BIOWOMAN".
