For the 100th anniversary of Joseph Beuys, I painted a picture in which I was inspired by his campaign titled "How to explain the pictures to the dead rabbit". In 1979 Beuys explained: “I wanted people to see themselves as they are in their egoistic misconduct towards reality, show that even a dead rabbit knows a lot more about this context of reality - for example understands the images of modern art better than humans with their screwed-up, so-called rationalistic intellect. And then it led to what gave me goosebumps: “This action already took place at a time when people were already aware of the ecological damage that humans cause. Which they do in the lifelines of the world. That is, they kill rabbits. But they also kill soils. They kill the forests by their mode of production. They destroy the lifelines of nature in general. (...) And when I say that a hare has to understand something, then I know that a hare, and with it nature, are human organs, without human beings being unable to live. This means that humans need a forest as a source of oxygen as their lungs. He needs the grain for food. So he needs the diverse animal world to make the earth fertile. Since he [man] needs all of this, he needs this nature and also the animal as he needs his heart, his liver and his lungs. So you can take a rabbit as an external human organ .. It is precisely these values that I would like to pass on to younger generations with my picture.

My name is Maxim Fomenko, I'm a freelance artist from Nuremberg. I studied at the Nuremberg Academy of Arts, study program "Free Art“. Completed 2012 as a master student.Since then I am a successful, freelance artist. My work is in various open and private collections Europe and the USA. My art is about the artist himself, here I ask the question, how does the artist of today look like compared to the artist in the past, how has he changed in the course of art history. How much has his transformation of themes that he dealt with thousands of years ago like feminine beauty, death and Paradis changed. We remember the past epochs with beautiful female scenes of, for example, Ingris, Degas, Renoir or Matisse. Then the fright of the 20th century from Picasso, Braque and so on until today. What remains for the modern artists? Everything seems to be said, all styles and all directions are exhausted, maybe that's why the subjects have to be redefined and reinterpreted. If I may paraphrase Malewisch "it is no longer enough to create a mattress for the night of love".
