Critique by Ljuma Penov
Mr. vick is a multifaceted and distinctive artist whose art reaches all social boundaries. His work is led by, and is in the form of palimpsest, which is very interesting and aesthetically expressive. His selection of photographed details is very carefully and profoundly authorized by the artist himself. His art is telling us a lot of what is elusive in this hastily life. With his work he is leading us on this beautiful cognition how by time something new is created from the old and forgotten, and very often it is an art piece of its own, which is the case here. The artist is also opening our eyes with his work. As if he is telling us not to look only straight in front of us, but to also make time and look sideward, and if we do, we could, even in something that seems insignificant, discover, just like a child, something utterly new, completely unreal, that is made by history, by time passed, longer or short. His work suggests that we should look all around us, because who knows what messages are hidden for us around us, messages for our own life and time. That is something that every true art should offer. We have to open our eyes. That is what is clearly suggested to us by this amazing artist, and by his work in which he answers but also asks questions.
This particular piece of art is telling us a lot about the past itself, but also about the present. ken rst kick has spotted a very important thought that every one of us should acknowledge and that is that the money takes our life usually in some other directions, somewhere where it’s not so great like we think and hope that money shall provide us, but it takes us very often to all sorts of illnesses of spirit, body and mind, and to seductiveness of all kinds of vices. Because everything is possible when you are in possession of a lot of money, but that usually is not enough to satisfy a human being, so we go deeper and deeper in one or the other sickness of mind, body and spirit. This piece is telling us how the values are easily forgotten and how much they are forgotten; sometimes those are the values of the whole humanity. With the help of the past we come to the truth in this piece. Money and disease are often associated in all sorts of ways, and sadly often lead to death. In this piece, which is an epitome of the subjective we come to completely, but surely objective interpretation. On this photograph, how skillfully it is arranged, we see from the past a lot of money, but all that is torn by and at the same time wrapped in an old paper with HIV details printed on it. The paper is old, but the money is fresh and new and it dominates this image, as it also, sadly, dominates this world, except in the core of profound art of course. The paper with the HIV details is old, suggesting to us that it is almost a very old theme, while the money is still fresh in the sharpness of our mind. This piece is telling us how something which is sad, quickly becomes even totally normal, thanks to money, and how money usually guides us, and not the other way around. And that is definitely sad and painful for the humanity itself. This piece warns us and motivates us to reflect on aesthetics, profoundness and characteristics of neorealism in realism as an art form, and also this piece is transcending, here, to us a message for our own lives. And that is something, among other things, what a piece of art should always represent.
