Paper, ink, 1993, 30 х 20 cm

This artwork is my fantasy on themes of books by american science fiction author Alfred Bester.
Grats is an alien, being grown up they could transform to anybody, but they children are very ugly, eyes like dishes, rough and thin fur, naked belly. Grown up grats being able to metamorphoses woud never come back to previous form. Ruum of x-9 type is an alien device for gathering of fauna specimens, in the story they sent it to the Earth in prehistoric times and forgot to take back. The outsider is the being which I have invented to express the idea that invisible energies exist in the world, maybe even of alien nature.
