”PREMONITION: SOVIET APOCALYPSE” is a Genuine Signed &
Dated Ari Roussimoff Oil on Canvas Painting, measuring a Very
Large-Sized approx. 36 x 39 1/2 inches. It was painted during
the year 1979. “PREMONITION: SOVIET APOCALYPSE” presents an
Incredible Vision of a Surviving Civilization Emerging from
the Catacombs of Soviet Oppression to Build a New and Free
Society. This Beautiful painting, rendered in Painstaking
Detail and Strong, yet Poetic Colours and Vigourous
Brushstrokes is one of the Artist’s Earliest Commentaries on
the Former Communist Regime, a truly unprecedented Premonition
of what was to come. Roussimoff created a Rare and Prophetic
work that Foretold the Downfall of the Communist Era. This
Imaginative and Dynamic composition deals with the themes of
Survival and the Future. Out of a landscape of endless rubble
and catastrophe comes a society that had been forced to live
underground with all its hopes, passions and desires intact.
It is a new existance. Not yet comfortable with their newly
acquired independence, they have not yet shed their gas masks,
and they must forge ahead. The old repressive regime is gone.
In their wake, they left overwhelming devastation and
destruction. Amidst the heaps of brick and stones one finds
the ruins of both an Onion Domed, Russian Orthodox Church and
a Jewish Synagogue. This represents the State's Fanatical
Efforts to Destroy Religion and Spirituality. Another remnant
of a building shows the visible signs of Young Love by the
graffiti scrawled on its wall. Although these particular
edifices and symbols of great beliefs and feelings are in
ruins, their spirits have survived, and live on in the people.
The gas-masks will come off. People will once again build and
create. It is amazing when one realizes that this dazzling
work was created in the year 1979! There is much poetry and
hope in this flowing composition. This is a Beautiful and
Spellbinding Artwork!
