The painting “Artist Leonid Sokov in New York” was created during Faibisovich's stay in USA. Here the artist moves away from his customary visual system. The pictorial space imitates the negative of a colored film with the portrait of Sokov. Lights of the big city, blurred with motion, are flickering in the background. This work is a single frame of the present-day city life, the fixation of the epoch and its hero.
