Painted in 2021, Treugolnikov’s «Shining Path» series was exhibited at The Buckingham Gallary for two months. It was then sold to a private collection for $1,000,000. Posters of the «Shining Path» series are available at the artist’s website.
The main directions of this series — democratic realism, symbolism, social caricature. These are modern art movements in Russia, representing the aesthetic expression of a democratically conscious concept of peace and human rights, due to the era of struggle for the establishment and creation of a democratic society.
Symbolism in the work is more of a philosophy, a display of absolute truth through metaphorical images.
In writing this series, the author used hidden messages, allegories and even ciphers with deep philosophical meaning.
