DAS REICH

1938 - 1958

"Učit'sja, učit'sja i učit'sja", "Studying, studying and studying", as Vladimir Il'ic Ulyanov - AKA comrade Lenin - said.
Words that sound almost ridiculous now, just like all of the Bolshevik leader mottos. "Even a cook should learn and rule a country", "You have to bury all theatres" and so on. Lenin actually quoted Chekhov and his novella My life.

The style of this artwork is too dark to indulge in the detached irony that time and distance sometimes bring with them.

The black and white is the same as Goya’s cycle on war.
This is an artwork about the three totalitarianisms that arose in the 20th Century, the most gloomy of all six works.
A different, more explicit and less subtle kind of gloom when compared to the artwork on the Digital Revolution.

The ambiguity and anamorphosis change background and historical frame but leave its meaning intact: in the barbed wire of a concentration camp we find Christ’s crown of thorns.
The ancient Hebrew words taken from Psalm 23 - the one sung during the Shabbat - become a form of encouragement for the children of the camps: "Even if I went / in the dark valley / I would not fear any evil, / because You are always with me; / Because you are the my rod, my staff, / With you I feel comfortable".

These same words will be used for a 1990s dance tune, Gam-Gam. A mere background for careless dances and thrills.

Technique:
brushed silver leaf, opaque colors, charcoal, fusaggine, pastels.

UNEXPECTED CUSTOM

A group of artists, architects, designers, art historians, writers and all of kinds of intellectuals came together over a decade ago to create the Unexpected-Custom brand.

Since then the atelier has drawn from their many skills. Incorporating over half a century of research and international success, new ideas are passionately produced by combining the creativeness of the young artists and the experience of the older masters.

Under the "UC" trademark you can find works from the simplest decorations to the most complex creations providing a visual and personal experience full of emotion, allusions and memories.

Like the contents of a manifesto of Viennese Secessionist art the creations come to life surprising the viewer with their high technical quality but also cultural ideas that vibrate due to these strong linkages between different disciplines of human knowledge.
