Today, Hrynevich is one of the most influential artists in Belarus. Together with Juri Jacovenko , Valentina Choba , Vladimir Panteleev and Victoria Iliyna he is a member of an artist group. In his painting, he combines motifs from the past (well-known personalities, military, banal everyday motifs) in his painting using the sampling principle and transforms them using the coloristic and serial principles of Andy Warhol or based on the striking and symbolically shortened imagery of Erik Bulatov and Alex Katz on iconic socially critical images. His criticism is directed against the ubiquitous consumer world, the power of the military and traditional religious symbols as well as against environmental degradation . His handling of iconography and the insignia of socialist realism often takes place on several pictorial levels and is often ironically accentuated.
