www.annickpress.com/ai/gukova.html – Gukova creates a full-fledged surreal landscape, complete with strange apparatuses, hybrid creatures, impossible architecture that could not be more evocative, and an atmosphere that is at once exotic, nostalgic, and even abstract… Gukova’s remarkably beautiful vision is a holiday for the heart. A small masterpiece.
