"The typical Artists’ Union studio of the brilliant colourist Nikolai Latyshenko in the summer of 1998, with Oksana Lipko and Slava Chepets. It was a brilliantly sunny day in summer, 35 degrees in the city and hotter still inside a south-facing studio. Too warm to work.
We all drank a lot of mineral water and went home." refer Leningrad, Artists and the City, Dr John Ness Barkes, 2022, page 8 see photo
