Déjà vu Painting

This work became the result of my conclusion that some transnational corporations are not only empires with their own territory (‘bp sites’), their population (‘bp people’), their own quasi-language (‘bp language’), their own subculture (‘bp culture’), but also sometimes have a striking similarity with the political empires of the past, in particular with the Soviet Union – one of the largest ideological empires in history. I allowed myself to make such conclusion based on long observations of events and behavior patterns in one of such transnational corporations – bp – where I carried out my research in conditions of complete underground for the unbiased and unrestricted studying political/social/environmental aspects of its activity that were the subject of my interests at intersection of art & semiotics. That was an unprecedented art project that ended in 2023 - ‘Semiosis of Meta-Abstract Symbols / Phenomenology of Freedom’ https://niyazmamedov.com/category/underground/ - and resulted in a number of innovations related both to the formal aspects of art / theory of art and semiotics. My observations (described ‘in hot pursuit’) and conclusions that ultimately inspired me to create this work can be found in the following links - www.niyazmamedov.com/the-underground/#12-10-2015 & www.niyazmamedov.com/the-underground/#30-04-2020 - which are part of my theoretical work ‘The Script’ divided in two sections: 'The Underground' (related to the closed community of the transnational oil corporation - https://niyazmamedov.com/the-underground/ ) and ‘Art & Signs’ (related to my reflections regarding art and semiotics - https://niyazmamedov.com/art-signs/ ).
