Konstantin Batynkov disrupts traditional notions of artistic techniques resurrecting natural principles of realizing visual images. The project "Cosmodrome" presents the realities of war as elements in a totalitarian game. His paintings are filled with numerous tanks, planes, and aircraft carriers executed in strictly graphic manner. On the one hand, they look like drawings by a teenage boy constructing his world of virtual wars, and on the other hand, it is the world of a grown-up man who had preserved the wisdom of childhood where any form of aggression turns into "idealized" images and forms.
