(XL Giclée on Dibond) MARKFIELD UPON ALTAR STONES - Limited Edition of 30 Photograph

art to buy MARKFIELD UPON ALTAR STONES (a few words from the artist) > First I would like to confess: SYNCHRONICITY is one of my favourite subjects. In this regard, I am very happy that this photo happened inside the "ALTAR STONES Nature Reserve", MARKFIELD village, Leicestershire, UK. > Secondly, I would like everybody to realize and openly admit that we, humans, share the same TERRITORIAL INSTINCT with the whole animal kingdom. > This instinct has positive consequences such as encouraging identity development, diversity, competition, etc., but also dark outcomes such as rejection, segregation, killings, wars, etc. > IDENTITY (“Who am I?”) besides TERRITORIALITY / POSSESSION (“What is mine?”) are both intellectually unsolvable dilemmas. > Understandably, both IDENTITY and TERRITORIALITY / POSSESSION play key roles in many forms of RELIGIOUS disciplines, oscillating between the largely known ASCETIC RENUNCIATION and the mysterious, and surprising for many, tantric spiritual practice of “STEALING”; > Talking about TANTRISM, it is also interesting to mention that URINE, the most used biological fluid in animal territory marking, is an essential element in some of its extra-ordinary spiritual RITUALS and PRACTICES (see "Damar Tantra"). > Whatever the justification it may be invoked, I see any excessive manifestation of HUMAN TERRITORIALITY as an unfortunate form of SACRILEGE. P.S. > The name of my four-legged friend pictured in the photo is Louie; this is why, paraphrasing a sad French slogan, I chose "Je suis Louie" (a play on words as well) as the title for one of the sister-pieces of this artwork. > This SISTER PIECE will be soon available for purchase here on www.saatchiart.com. ======================================================================================= WHY BUY THIS ARTWORK > Because it is a powerful reminder of how deeply conditioned human nature is. > Maybe each of us should do a little bit more to bring some balance into this instinct/reason equation. ======================================================================================= This 30-LIMITED EDITION > The ORIGINAL, signed artwork is printed on exquisite 285 gsm HAHNEMÜHLE PEARL resin-coated Giclée Fine Art paper, in an EXTRA LARGE 40'' x 40'' (1016 mm x 1016 mm) format. > The artwork is shipped to the buyer in a special, carefully designed ART PROTECTIVE package. > The ARTWORK is numbered and signed on the back. > The diversity of the titles (for clarification read bellow the "A UNIQUE ART EXPERIMENT" paragraph) does not affect the total number of prints, which remains constrained inside the 30-LIMITED EDITION. > Each print of this 30-LIMITED EDITION is accompanied by a "CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY" containing all the important information about the ARTWORK. ======================================================================================= > The artwork and all forms of included or associated texts are copyrighted © 2019+ Bogdan ANDA (R)
