| 关于此艺术家 |
Gurecka uses an array of materials that host his ideas of transience, reflection, and transcendental states. Many of the materials are temporary mediums that evoke historical permanence. Jeph uses simplistic and organic materials to ground the world of illusion to the physical. Much like Mandela paintings and street graffiti murals,Gurecka’s work exists to reflect on the absurdity of the moment, the preciousness of the past and the impermanence of the world.
Symbolisms throughout the ages have illustrated the superstitions and desires of a society. Development of cultures have grown with these beliefs that have been about desire, necessity and fear. Family and civil life was completely dependent upon these beliefs for progress and a homogeneous people.
In the modern world traditional symbolism and superstition have become pop-ritual kitsch, far removed from their original intentions. It is far easier today to live without a social/religious need for these old motifs and myths, but how is it improving upon modern culture?
