Since there are cultural expressions, artists are searching for symbols. Where words are insufficient, pictures start. Komski works in this tradition. In the latest works mostly religious, symbols are made of fruit. Intriguing. surprising and in a way logical. The man became man thanks to Eve's apple. The orb is the apple of power.
Food and vegetables in particular stand for fertility and vitality. The Horn of Plenty is filled with fruit, the grape bunch is the symbol for the Last Supper. Maybe Komski prepares a last supper for each religion.
Or, perhaps it is an expression of irony. Or the everlasting circle of life. Or a message to everyone which says: enjoy the healthy symbols, don't die for a cross or a half moon, but eat them and celebrate the life.
Komski studied the old masters profoundly, he translate their ideas to images of the 21st century in which the observer defines the spiritual content of the symbols.
Installation. Mosaic made of fresh fruits and vegetables in the shape of Bull of Wall St.
Mosaic – is one of the oldest art forms existing on Earth. Mosaics adorn Palaces and Villas, Churches and Synagogs from Ancient Rome to now days symbolizing beauty of nature and human being.
Here is a mosaic of different kind. It made from fresh fruits and vegetables so fragile, that they will deteriorate during the relatively short period of time.
The end of the Old Era, the Wall street crisis, greed of new Aligarh and old Billionaires.
In his installation-mosaic Komski creates a statement.
The Bull of Financial Market, The Bull of Wall Street made of his signature materials, fruits and vegetables goes down.
