Karatnik is an art duet of modern artists Vladimir Dubosarsky and Alexander Vinogradov. Karatnik’s art opens up a new reality that challenges the seemingly natural order of things accepted in rational and logical systems, thereby questioning this order itself. The artists’ works invite you to take a fresh look at the familiar structure of the world and, like a flash, glimpse into an alternate world where a different kind of freedom prevails. Karatnik has created a visionary fantasy of a post-apocalyptic world. Humanity has driven itself to extinction. Its idols look meaningless and misplaced on a desert island or in a rainforest. Art, too, existed only as a value within the human world. Each time we interact with art, we are reminded of that — even if only on an unconscious level.

Karatink’s works are exhibited at Kunsthaus Zurich, Kunsthalle Wien, the Louvre Museum, Seoul Museum of Art, Saatchi Gallery (London), Royal Academy of Arts (London), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao), Deitch Projects Gallery, and Vaal Gallery (Tallinn).
Karatink’s works are a part of the collections at the following museums: Museum of Contemporary Art (Avignon), Pompidou Center (Paris), Museum of Modern Art (Valencia), Secession (Vienna), Museum of Fine Arts (Houston).
