pen and watercolor on firm vellum. 1995.
70 x 50 cm.
Signed "P. Pepperstein" (Cyrillic) and dated in black pen lower right.
Pavel Pepperstein, along with Sergej Anufriev and Yuri Schadenman, is a co-founder of the important artist group “Medical Hermeneutics,” which formed in Moscow in 1989 during the era of glasnost and perestroika and paraphrased its own Eastern culture in a subversive and humorous way. Pepperstein is one of the
important representatives of second-generation Moscow conceptualism. Through his father, the artist Viktor Pivovarov, his contemporary and friend Ilya Kabakov had a formative influence on
Pepperstein's childhood and youth.
Drawing is his medium. All topics such as literature, music, society, politics, pass through
the filter of the unspeakable and enigmatic, up to their perfection in the absurd theater of
seeing. His drawing pen is clearly influenced by ink painting and is at times reminiscent of
calligraphy in the Zen Buddhist tradition. References to America are repeatedly
made, in this case with the inscription “Philadelphia” and “Musika” to the “Ragtime” age with its joy of life in the USA.
