Wooden bear with a jar of honey, souvenir Nefertiti, African mascs and other tourist trophies that were brought home from holidays, hats with earflaps, shotguns and carved wood heads — all these items become an artistic subject. The function of the things is not important for the author. Anyway every thing is considered to be changed after the transformation in artist’s workshop, full of numerous drawing pins.
"Push" is also a call to action to the visitor. Every person has to reconsider the conventional ideas about familiar things, that he or she knows from childhood. The artist invites us to the universe, captured by drawing pins. Chegin proves that you need to make only one step in order to move from the usual life into the artistic dimension, where the most common things can be a real piece of art.
