The work “Modern Tools of Labor – the Matrix” is an imprint of an object (a saw with teeth replaced by human teeth), which had not yet been produced at the time the show opened. The artist will make it and show it about a year later in his upcoming one-artist show in the gallery of the ICA-Sofia where in the 0gms drawer-gallery is located. Thus he is linking the two spaces; the drawer is transformed into a studio. The object whose matrix (mold) the artist is showing possesses an iconography that is present in many of his works. This is raw imagery related to the specific/symbolic aesthetics of pain that the author is transforming into a symbol for the power relations in society and the violence in the political existence of the human being.

About The Artwork

Edition 1 of 2 + 1 AP Modern Implements of Labour is a work that points a finger of irony at our collective hunger for instant gratification. Regretably society today can provide for us ever cheaper, faster and saturated "experiences" in substitution for the real thing. With this work I want to give modern man an even sharper tool, to cut deeper into the fabric of life. To help him render it into more manageable pieces for faster satisfaction.

Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, i work with various subjects of the day often with the means of sharp irony. The iconography I use possess harsh and critical imagery. It’s all about stakes, skills and storyteling. Figurative contemporary art with a fine touch of social message, humor and artist condition message. When are we more sincere - when we lose or when we win? I examine the personal and the external, the conscious and the unconscious reducing the distance between the portrait and the self-portrait, the present and the past. Tracing the changing attitude towards the themes of freedom, carelessness, responsibility, guilt.
