Zinuhov's dynamic paintings exude the pulse of a modern society and unleash deeply rooted tribal influences. "The Cover" (shown here) is a superb example of the artist's use of complementary primal references in strong design and contrast. The simplicity of the form, smooth bald head covered in a reverie of pebbled textures, black vacant eyes and cherry red lips are simultaneously shocking and seductive to the eyes, ears and sense of touch.
