ZUCK YOU Painting

The following text is from my Instagram (@CarrazedoArt) post, don't take it too seriously =). "ZUCK YOU" - I thought about hiring a curator to talk about this work, after all my creativity to invent stories from scratch and with fancy words like "appropriation", "transdisciplinary" and "subversion" needs to be renewed. However I spent all my money on something useful (whey protein alone in this case), so I'm going to appropriate that myself and, as a transdisciplinary artist that I am, subvert their expectations. My up-to-date view of Duchamp's urinal becomes evident in this more conceptual work (the name artists give to their work when they want to look smarter). The Banana symbolism, full of ambiguities like the new "Superman", reflects the fact that the debate over what is what has definitely taken second or third place. Duchamp "made a splash" 100 years ago, but even he would be haunted by the current scenario. While superficially there is no interest in anything concrete, after all everything is "deconstructed" - without even knowing how to build anything beforehand - inside there is a sea of ​​Dangerous Monkeys (name of the series) that beg for someone to guide them and impose limits. We are desperate, but we are too proud to ask for help. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TicTac (I know the name) are the most perfect representation of this spoiled (me included) portion of humanity that has already solved all the basic problems like hunger and security, but can't even decide if hot is hot or cold is cold on its own. Meanwhile, those who are really dedicated to building, searching for answers or defining anything, for a simple facilitation of thought, are deceived and envied. I see more and more the use of the banana figure around to symbolize madness or disconnection from reality. But maybe there is no disconnection with reality, because that's what reality is ("or not" would say the young slave of tic tac). Just for the record, the background of the work is the canvas itself. And maybe it will inevitably get dirty over time. I think it's beautiful, this emptiness that is full. If the guy at Masp (an important museum here in Brazil) can "paint" without painting, I can too. Zuck you too. Eric
