alexey kondakov fuses classical art with scenes of consumerism + pop culture

classical art figures take over nightclubs and retail spaces

ukrainian digital artist alexey kondakov is known for his seamless integration of classical art figures into contemporary landscapes. his more recent artworks depicted below deep dive into modern-day consumerism and pop culture — from dancing in nightclubs and shopping for shoes to working from home on a macbook.

alexey kondakov’s seamless blend of two different eras 

the artist’s intricate blend of two vastly different periods rarely fails to leave the viewer perplexed. he carefully photoshops figures from classical paintings by william-adolph bouguereau, arthur hacker, herbert james draper — to name a few — onto familiar settings made of concrete cities, techno beats, and endless consumer goods. this hybrid composition ultimately gives a whole new meaning to a reality we know all too well.
