BONES OF ADAM
This series IS NOT:
- An attempt to actualize any religious plots and topics, whether with dogmatic proponent purpose or as a reflection on deep connections between religion and global art culture.
- A wish to understand the extent and nature of religious ideas and canons penetrating the modern world of post-urbanistic constructs.
- A satirical, burlesque, ironic, post- or meta-ironic way of opposing people’s religious beliefs.
- A way of comparing religious causal systems with fundamental scientific one.
- An instrument of epatage, attention-grabbing, butthurt provocation, or hype.
- An existential search or answer.
- A reflection on the problem of biblical characters as historical people or fictional nature of the Bible itself.
- An attempt to identify religious fragments as a tradition, an ‘atavism’ or a ‘rudiment’ of modern culture.
- A cultural guide or a medium of communication.
- A metaphor or a ground for reflection on every idea ever formulated within religious studies, theological, theosophical, and philosophical discourses.
- A medium for representing chaotic and inconscient images of the artist’s mind.
- A reflection of mental or intellectual state of the artist, his inner world or his values.
- In any way an informative, expressive, conceptual, non-conceptual, formal, informal, figurative, abstract, or vanguard work.
- A thing-in-itself or an object of perception.
- A fact of painting.
- A school.
- A style.
- A painting.
- And, quite possibly, these are not Adam’s bones, or not Adam, or not bones.
- And absolutely not the infinite number of interpretations arising in your mind.
- And it is not even what lies beyond everything a man can think of.
- All the more, it is not the nothing that lies beyond nothing.
