GOLDEN CIRCUITS
"I am interested in touching gold by the eye. Luxury is the ultimate shelter for neurotics. Gold glance calms down very effectively... Almost as well as glittery gold leafs of ancient icons. Shine blinds and makes things go smoothly"
Digital print on paper, oil, varnish. 2019-continuing
This project exists in the context of ecology, aims, and future of classical car racing as a very consumptive sport, questions of beauty and waste, element of nostalgia. Is it would be possible for luxury to exist in the future? Formula 1, this world of luxury and high speed is the legacy of the twentieth century. What is the prospect of circuits in our time of conspicuous consumption - becoming a place of future electric competitions or existing as glamorous ruins of the last century with its love for industry and development?
People created thousands of camps for sport and recreation during their history. For now, many of these places are abandoned during the low season. Perhaps, the reason for these constructions can be just beauty, not competition. Not everything in this world is obliged to have a purpose. Like bright things, like gold and precious metals... We can let them exile as memories of our civilization.
Technically, it is a hybridization of printed 3d renders and traditional oil painting on pre-primed photo paper. It's not so easy to find borders sometimes. Borders, paths are taken, run-off-roads and turns - all together they created both form and content of these artworks.
