Gnilitsky’s work “General Galliani.” Some mythical general. Gnilitsky found his image in a magazine from the early 20th century. Portrait of the general (torn out from the magazine). A large painting – a funeral procession, an honor guard at the coffin. And in front of it on the podium, a red cushion with an order. And the order is in the form of female genitalia with rhinestones. By the way, at the exhibition “Angels over Ukraine” in Edinburgh, this order was stolen. Apparently, it was very much liked.
