He was born into a 1938 September day, spending most of his life in Yekaterinburg. He was one of the first artists who used art as a tool to generate conversation with the public. Better known as Old Man Bukashkin, Evgeny Mikhaolovich Malakhin roamed around his town robed, with a beard and a t-shirt that read: I am the great Russian poet. He was a folk artist in an Ural’s city. He abandoned a conventional lifestyle to dedicate his life to street art, music and poetry: Lonely little crocodilly, lack of love his eyes made teary. If you are from working class, drink just seltzer, juice and kvass.
Through artistic expression, he committed to an alternative lifestyle. He preferred public space to museum and gallerie. He painted slogans, about living harmoniously together, over fences and garbage bins. In this way, Old Man Bukashkin https://www.facebook.com/pg/StarikBukaskin/about/ had bring culture into the public streets. Leaving his paintings on a garage wall or a fence, he had paint the whole city surface, until a 2005 March day, when he died. Special areas on existing fences were granted for his creative use, tradition that exists until now in Yekaterinburg.
