ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Brainwash is about the information we are exposed to which creates a collective awareness. Knowledge comes from within and in society, it is imposed by a series of behaviours which are accepted by a certain population, that behaviours create the norm and the norm changes from Nation to Nation, place to place. The paintings show a cloud/brain, dripping drops of knowledge or information which colour the empty minds of the heads below. This work is about mind manipulation of society towards the citizen. This work will come rolled in a tube and it will need to be professionally stretched or framed as you most prefer. This work is made in Matlakas' unique style.

Riccardo Matlakas is a London/Germany/New York based multidisciplinary artist working internationally. He is best known for his multi-talented capacity in different art forms including performance, dance, painting and sculpture. He obtained a degree in Sculpture at the University of Fine Arts in Naples and an MA in Social Sculpture at Oxford Brookes University. Riccardo values the context he works in as the main inspiration for his work, finding a common ground with each culture he connects with. He creates cathartic actions and performances in the fore-front of current political, environmental and spiritual concerns by digging for the essence of humanity beyond race and custom. The artist often collects relics from his performances which later become objects of memory and contemplation. Riccardo Matlakas has performed and shown his work extensively in Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, South Africa, Iran, Armenia, Russia, Myanmar, Mauritius and South Korea.
