Description
Each epoch leaves its myths and legends for subsequent generations ... Sometimes the turns of mythological history touch so closely that they shine through each other … The title of the picture forms a semantic parallel between the surname of the main character of the film Red Heat, the captain of the Soviet militia Ivan Danko, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the name of Danko, the main character of the legend from the cycle «Tales of the Old Woman Izirgil» (Maxim Gorky). The hero of the legend is the leader of those, having got lost in the darkness, who illuminated the way for desperate and faithless people with his own heart, ripped out from his body. The 90s, the time of the disintegration of the USSR and the fall of the Iron Curtain, was marked by a wave of mutual interest of East and West. The ecumenical militiaman embodied the patterns of cultural perception of those years which took on bizarre, almost fairy-tale forms (which was especially evident in the cinema). The time of the thaw between the two superpowers, captured in art, was rich in historical and mythological archetypes being sometimes soulful, sometimes pretentious, sometimes funny-stereotyped. The main part of the picture is occupied by the face of Captain Danko, who, with a deep compassionate look, peers into the horizon of a certain magical dimension; where the Statue of Liberty with a torch burning like a heart is adjacent to a five-story building decorated with a Hammer and Sickle; where the mythical birds Sirin and Alkonst sing some ancient sacred song and, Alyonushka illuminates the road near the carved terem with a T800 skull; where the Firebird flies into the thicket of fairy tales of the Russian forest, but, as it were, again through some semantic intersection with «Red Heat» against the background of the Statue of Liberty. And above it, in a thundercloud, a Skynet drone from the Terminator hovers. However, it all starts and ends with Danko’s gaze. The transcultural grief of the imperfection of the world and the determination of the hero from the good old Hollywood fairy tale fills the mystical space of the painting with meaning, and the contemplator’s soul with nostalgia for the bygone times of the transcontinental thaw and such multifaceted symbols of the victory of Good over Evil ... Andrey Kartashov graduated from the A. Erdely Professional College of Arts of the Transcarpathian Academy of Arts in Uzhgorod, and later graduated from the Department of Painting of the Repin St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Since 2007, he has been a member of the Portrait Painters Association of America (PSA), and in 2016, he joined the Union of Artists of Russia. His works are represented in the collections of the Research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, Tianjin Museum, and Liu Haisu Museum of Art in China, Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum in Austria, as well as in private collections of collectors from Russia, the UK, the USA, China, Ukraine, Poland, France, and the Netherlands. Produced using more forward-going technologies like the Metis scanner, which allows for printing out excellent quality art pieces it becomes a high-class, exclusive art piece. Excellent art piece in an elegant black wood frame.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
