“We will gladly remember Voriha as a painter of the heroic landscape of our modernity. Why? Because he paints anonymous cities using templates of trivial photographic optics… Voriha’s skyscrapers, streets, and bridges, which, logically viewed, are merely artifacts of human material culture, within the concrete painting procedure transform into completely both irrational and unreal maps of reality.” (Vladimir Rismondo Jr.)
