On Friday, the Russian protest artist Artem Loskutov held an auction on his Facebook page for a work he created with a nightstick (police baton) instead of a paintbrush. He used red paint on a white background (the colours of the Belarusian flag), a technique that he created in 2019 to depict Russian police brutality and dubbed dubinopis' ["nightstick art"]. In this case, he used red paint on a white background, the colours of the historical Belarusian flag.
