MOSCOW: From a musclebound Superman to ice hockey player to jet pilot, Vladimir Putin plays various heroic roles in paintings at a Moscow exhibition called ?Superputin? that opened this week as he began his campaign for a fourth Kremlin term.
Displayed at an arts centre in a former factory in central Moscow, the paintings by various artists range from factual to fanciful, showing Putin cuddling a puppy, brandishing a Russian flag while riding a bear or firing missiles in the colours of the Russian flag. ?Each painting depicts a quality or a value of the president,? said 22-year-old pro-Putin activist Yulia Dyuzheva, one of the exhibition´s organisers.The exhibition of 30 paintings and sculptures opened on Wednesday and will be on display until January 15 at the venue ?Museum of Ultra-Modern Art? founded by a former mayor of the city of Arkhangelsk, Alexander Donskoi, who also runs a Moscow museum of erotic art called ?G-Spot.? ?Each artist depicted positive attributes of Vladimir Putin. Every artist loves him and respects him and supports him,? Dyuzheva said.
