Everything in this picture is retro or vintage from the start, fascinating in its imperfection and contradictorily scientific – the four spheres are depicted as if in positive and negative, representing someone’s ‘mad scientist’ experiment. Valery Vinogradov’s most extravagant achievement so far has probably been the exhibition of his painting in the Hollywood film Tenet, which was shot in Tallinn in 2019. The sense of humour in Vinogradov’s art is also often extravagant and exuberant, informed by Estonian-Russian cultural meanings, their differences and oddities.
