The artist himself said about the painting, "As a Zenit fan I wanted to create a piece for Zenit and Artem, something that shows him in motion and making him look very much the superstar. He is a fantastic talent and I wanted to honour him!"
Irina Kochieva, Director of the Novy Museum told us "We're very happy to be in partnership with Zenit because this is the team of our city and the best club in Russia! We'd like to invite all the Zenit fans to our museum to see this great picture."
The Novy Museum is located at 29, 6th line, Vasilievsky Ostrov, right next to the Metro Station and is open Wednesday to Sunday, 12:00 - 19:00.
