 The traditions of "anonymous" art, folklore, so different from those of the present-day visual arts, are obvious in Pankov's works.Pankov is unique, for he fuses the folkloristic vision of life and ingenuousness of taiga-born hunter with the modern technique of painting and faultless sense of colour and composition.The high aesthetic merit of the young artist's pictures, their singular and novel character, could not, of course, remain unnoticed.
