In the 1980s, Pivovarov's conceptual still lifes are quite often encountered. The limbs appear in strange contexts, they are part of them, sometimes they even try to escape from the whole composition. Although Vitkor Pivovarov has lived in Prague for decades, he is also celebrated in Moscow - as one of the founders of the famous Moscow Conceptualism. Under the previous regime, these were ignored artists, but today they are representatives of a well-preserved Russian avant-garde and cultural consciousness that is fading due to various ideologies. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
