Previously, art was the prerogative of the elite, as their economic status allowed them not to think about everyday problems and get carried away by something beautiful. What can I say, and now art is not of interest to every person. Not only because of economic prosperity, but also because of a lack of desire to "understand" art, to experience those emotions and feelings that the artist put into the picture. This is the beauty of art.
People are accustomed to appreciate the beauty of art, its incomprehensibility, subjectivity. For the emotions and feelings that art gives them. But what if art is understandable? What if art calls and encourages action, or makes you think about the problems of our world? Then every person on the planet will be able to understand this art, because it will concern not only a single artist and his experience, it will concern all of humanity, it will concern us.
For me, art is not only beautiful, it is also social. Art is directly related to reality and it should talk about its problems: politics, the environment, possible wars and social problems.
Artists are people with a certain status in society. People admire them for their unusual vision of this world. People want to follow their idols, whether it's a performer or an artist. Therefore, in my opinion, artists are those people who can “make” people think, provide food for thought. Artists can change the vector of development, give a first impetus. So why not do it, since art is such a powerful tool of influence?
Social art is our criticism towards humanity and its problems, and as we know, criticism is movement, development. The modern world is mired in global problems that need to be addressed immediately. The deteriorating environmental situation in my city and region prompted me to create this triptych. All global issues are interconnected. They lead to one. By the end. In my opinion, it is very interesting to consider when one global problem speaks of another global problem. Problems are my inspiration. and every time I get motivated when I want to tell everyone about them. not just to say that it is, but to what it can lead. Art is for everyone and it must speak.
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”

Just over a year ago, then CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, sold his first tweet as an NFT for $2.9M. It wasn’t just his first tweet, of course, it was the first tweet, which as auctions go for Crypto- and NFT-heads was about as appealing as a hunk of sourdough to a famished goose. The nearly $3M sale was a welcome green flag to early advocates in the NFT space that the winds of blockchainge (sorry...
Note: contains spoilers for web series Local58I hate opening with statistics – unless of course, they’re jaw-dropping. In its first month, a recent found footage video called The Backrooms hit a staggering 15M views after its upload to YouTube. That’s a reach of roughly half a million hits every day. And let’s bear in mind, this isn’t the latest drop from Ariana Grande, or MrBeast putting main...
According to Fitzgerald, there are no second acts in American lives. That’s probably true, unless you’re bigger than America. Kanye’s career has gone through so many ducks, pivots and sensational conclusions, we can’t help but look on as the next step could be the last, as rapt as we were almost 20 years ago. The first half of my quest to understand the man through his music brought us to 2010...
