Picasso in Moscow, 1994
Dubossarsky commented on when they began painting in 1994, “You have to understand, when we started working together, there was an opinion here that painting had died. In some way, our first project was alternative at that point in time. We didn’t understand what we were doing, but we understood it was against the trend. Aggressive performance art was very popular here. Art was either depressive or aggressive. We decided to create paradise.”

They were also successful in the Tretyakov Gallery for their picture installation the Four Seasons of Russian Painting which gained them further recognition in Russia. Ken Johnson , New York Times critic, described their style as "a goofy, distinctively Russian satire of consumerist euphoria". I couldn't have put it better myself but New York Times critic or someone who knows nothing about art, their paintings are just interesting to look at.
