This box continues Dmitry Tipyakov's series of works that may be called “The Earth is a Planet of the Universe”. Here he has painted the villagers who contemplate the night sky studded with sparkling diamonds of stars. May be at this moment they are thinking about the faraway worlds scattered in the boundless universe. By painting the planets that the villagers are contemplating, like the huge balls hovering over the ground the artist has added a bit of surrealism to the work.
The scene is masterfully painted in green and blue tones. Gold paint is used to highlight the peasant wooden houses and the fence. Very interesting work that contains a philosophic idea that the Earth is one of the countless number of planets scattered in the space.
The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. A hinge is fastened to the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, the title (“The Earth”), and the year of 2007.
