Expertise and whimsy collide  in Naumov's series of skillfully airy watercolours depicting women in flight.​ More closely resembling landing spacecraft than ancient goddesses, and sporting nutty pompadours while dressed in oversized ball gowns, these hurtling super-heroines are a cross between Wonder Woman and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Campy and fuel-injected, Naumov's muses don't light the imagination's sacred fire - they burn rubber on your forehead.
