In his new cycle of graphic prints, Moscow artist Maxim Kantor sums up his oeuvre to date and devotes his attention to a topic which has been dominating cultural debates in Russia since the time of Peter the Great: Russia torn between East and West, Asia and Europe. Painting scenes from Russian daily life with a strong neo-expressionist gesture, Kantor's work reveals such polarities on every level.
