Mikhail Dronov (1956–2025) was a prominent Russian sculptor celebrated for his unique artistic style of blending classical bronze casting traditions with modern satire, humour, and experimentation. This art monograph chronicles a decade of his work.

The book’s design and form directly mirrors the duality of Dronov’s artistic style. It balances tradition and playfulness by pairing a classic, cloth-bound hardcover with the bronze-embossed typography and traditional art monograph layout with unexpected, contemporary elements. Inside, tactile newsprint sections document the creative process of an artist. The book itself is wrapped in an interchangeable, newsprint-style soft jacket, which acts as a dynamic element creating functional and visual contrast between artistic “result” and “process”.
