ED. Portrait of Young Woman, 2010, acrylic on canvas 14x44
If this is a practice for immortality then let there be
museums
Like tombs for the dead ancestors, museums preserve art for eschatological
resurrection
Galleries are for today; they package art for sale.
Preservation is for the soul what sale is for the body.
Humans are reluctant to die
A patron wants to last forever and commissions a portrait
An artist wants to last forever and paints a masterpiece,
but it’s not enough. An artist also paints his own little reflection in the
mirror in the corner of the patron’s portrait.
There, that’s better!
Don’t be confused with different schools and styles: like science
and religion, art is concerned with the split of consciousness
The amalgam between dualities ever tears us apart.
What are you looking at?
There is nothing there; you know it, why cannot you take
away your eyes?
Animals are not preoccupied with their reflection!
Mirrors are for human use only.
How do you want your hair? Like Jennifer Aniston, she is my
style model.
Animals are not preoccupied with their style or with their immortality. See the connection?
We recognize that we are mortal when our consciousness reflects on itself.
Perceived death calls for art and religion. Tightly
entangled they grow from the split of consciousness.
Modernity has a problem with uncontrolled growth. It fights microbes with medical science and art and religion with groundbreaking theories.
God is dead!
Art is dead!
Today our thinking is materialistic and art iconoclastic but
we send helicopters and submarines to look for remains of relatives because
we must bury our dead
