Our Russian Banksy: how Nikita Golubev extracts art from the mud
In the harsh Russian realities, it is almost impossible to keep cars clean. However, sometimes dirt can be an excellent material for a talented artist. So, cars for Nikita Golubev became a canvas, and dirt — paints.

"Recent work. I am pressed by the view of my city at this time of year, so this is born. Everything is normal, we are all used to what we see, what we breathe, what we eat. And we do not change anything, believing that this is the way it should be."

"I don't know if I need an explanation, I hope the idea is clear. I think it's time to stop with the cult of semi-criminal ignorance, it's not fun anymore."

Winter leaf / swipe➡ ️??Think about it, I drew this picture on top of my previous picture, which I did in June… I don't know if this is respect for creativity or a complete change of the owner. One dirt will cover another, do not pull the katana in vain (with) Lao Ji ??Did this one over my previous drawing i did back in June, can you imagine this? I wonder if it is a respect for my worj or a perfect dzen of this truck owner?
