Kirill Fadeyev’s paintings combine the artistic skill of a traditionally-trained artist with an immensely fertile erotic imagination, constantly finding subjects which juxtapose explicit male nakedness with the fantasies and realities of the material world. Like a brilliant political cartoonist, he manages to see connections which surprise, titillate and amuse his viewers in equal measure.
