CONNECTING IDEAS /damien hirst : the unbelievable storyteller

Some Art inspires because it is a sort of bet : it changes our perception, it is a ‘knock’, an open door on different visions, different approach to art itself, life, identity, relationships.

Here some inspiring art from different artists, times and countries. In common, it has this powerful factor : think differentely.

 

Damien Hirst.

Treasure from the wreck of the unbelieavable. Art as storytelling: whatever you like to believe, can be true. It is about imagination, game and a post modern attitude . ‘NO BORDERS’  between true and fakery, in a tribute to classic art, via a funny  pop-modern game. It is creating art with Duchamp  in the mind, Warhol in the eyes and irony in the heart.

It is Dafne turned into a Hirst creature; play the game, if you like it . It is art History turned into rock and roll!

Up down shadow …a fake hole in the ground.
Wax and wood, tender and strong, still but dinamic.
Red : like blood, passion, death, life. The Red of India , in opposition to a mistic white .
Anish Kapoor, simply .
It cuts like a velvet knife

Sometime visual art is a game of mixed media. A game, tout court.
Here it is a secret diary, as quick and easy as a post-it note : “remember, do not do it again!”.
It is a visual word, an enlightened thought.
It is a ‘do not forget ‘ for collectors of broken romances and exciting artworks.
Tracey Emin, former ” enfante terrible” turned wise woman, says it better.

CONNECTING IDEAS / imperfection : the key word

Lots of Art since the xxth century speaks via words.
From the ‘calligrammes’ to conceptual art, it is a fast ‘click’.
Maybe because the post modern man / artist is dazed, confused but still needs to express himself.
Not perfection, but feelings.
Please feel me , He seems to ask us . Like Tommy in The Who’s song.
Lets follow artists in their questions and desires. They can be so helpful and beautiful and intense.
