'Mild Process' is a striking piece entailing the intricate assembly of Abstract art. The disarmingly simplistic medium of Cardboard forms the canvas, and serves as a stark commentary on the often dismissed value of the mundane. The application of Oil paints brings stability to the volatile nature of the abstraction, providing the piece with a rich vibrancy that manages to captivate the viewer's gaze. The style, reminiscent of Russia's bustling urban sprawl, successfully transposes the nature of the Abstract onto the tangible reality of everyday life. 'Mild Process' is thus a statement piece merging two polar worlds.
