Although this piece was not part of the festival, it is impossible to pass by. “Dawn of a New Era” is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the nuclear industry, bringing together elements of Soviet monumentalism and 3D art. The artists describe this mural as an attempt to return to the monumental art of Sovmod, reinterpreting it and presenting it in a fresh light. In the urban context, the artwork stands out distinctly through its unusual style and the interplay of flat planes and three-dimensional volumes.
The piece pays tribute to workers and scientists: their discoveries, arduous labour, and the immense responsibility resting on their shoulders. It serves as a reminder to viewers that ordinary people hold immense creative power, dedicated to the betterment of cities, communities, and life as a whole.
