It's Bubblegum

The artist arranges an impossible meeting: Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time and the boy in the blue suit — an iconic character from 1990s Russian Boomer bubblegum commercials — in each other's arms. Their closeness works like a cultural collider: two different childhoods, two different screens, one feeling.

Beside them is the ginger cat from the Soviet cartoon Kesha the Parrot, whose catchphrase gave the painting its name. In its paws, a carrot for Lady Rainicorn, flying out of a rainbow. Jake, over Boomer's shoulder, watches it all — not yet decided whether he's charmed or wary. On the horizon: a sunset, a yellow path, and the silhouette of Finn mid-leap with his sword — adventure time never ends.

This is a painting about how the memory of a generation works. Characters from different universes — Soviet animation, post-Soviet advertising, an American cartoon — occupy one space completely organically, because in the mind they have always lived side by side.

The painting is framed by hand. Frame color to choose from: black, white, silver, gold.
