Grisha BRUSKIN’s name didn’t tell anything to the wide audience up to 1988, only very close people used to see his pictures, and his exhibitions were forbidden.

It was then, at Moscow Sotheby Auction, that his works (including “Fundamental Lexicon”) were sold at record prices for contemporary art – almost for 1 million dollars.

Grisha Bruskin lives as if out of time – more precisely, beyond the time, looking at the past from the future, and at the present from the past.

Whatever plastic system it would be – painting, graphics, monumental sculpture or small plaster figures – he seems to write an anthology of mythological archetypes, calling his cycles "Lexicon", "Alphabet", "Logic".

As a result, there forms an original book, where the names of the chapters are the names of his projects, a kind of Genesis, from birth to death.
