NEOHIRST

I'm a bit lost in translation again - in this artwork i try to combine a famous Damien Hirst's artwork with a famous Albert Camus' essay 'The Myth of Sisyphus', in particular with it's chapter 'Absurd creativity'. And at Nikacheart.ru I quote the exact part that was used in the painting. But I failed to find this very chapter in English translations of the same book - I found several versions of it in the web and all of them miss this very bit. There are two ways - either English-speaking readers are deprived of the best part of Camus' book or I'm just not the best googler)) Anyway, it's a great pity because noone hasn't described the absurd phenomenon in art better then Camus did...

This bag was influenced by both the artwork of Hirst itself and that piece I've made before. I think Hirts is among those artists whos artworks can be strongly reconsidered with the help of text. The phrase, written in the dots - 'Postmodernizm - even though this word is wild it still is a feast for my ear'. I found this phrase written on the wall in one Moscow building and immidiately fell in love with it!

Postmodernism in cube - a plastic bag with the imprint of paints used for the bag that was made as a addition to the painting NEOHIRST that was ment to be a visualisation of my thoughts about absurd creativity.
