ЪЁRRO ЪОGOV is a creator of art expressing the outskirts of the Tver Region, realizing the meaning of delirium, raising questions, giving and taking away answers, making your mind stupor. Ascetic Hedonism is «umnoglupoumnoe» flow of the artistic mind, unity of opposites. It's the anticipation of tasting the aftertaste's flavor, the all-embracing cycle which determines the concept of eternity. This concept associates hedonism with the frailty of physical life and corruption. The ascesa here is renunciation of transient pleasures for something truly permanent, we talk about the spirit. Such unity of these poler opposites neutralizes each other, leading to their mutual destruction, brings them to naught, unleashing hidden content of the elements' nature. As a result we have something really new and integral. Obliterating the system of labels and illusory husk that has been hiding the true nature of fundamental principles for centuries, you can get a chance to travel through space and time. The linocuts of ЪЁRRO ЪОGOV named «Undigested Saveloy», «Transverse-longitudinal Sawcut», «The Cattle's Sacrifice » reflect the main ideas of the Ascetic Hedonism, which surround us in our everyday life. Such pictures as «The Sacrificial Cattle», « The Cattle's Sacrifice», «The Cattle's Grub» are sort of the mirror of human relationships inside the society. They show us the determinants and the results of human behavior and desires. Everyone will become slaves of what they have done already. Subjects will become objects suffering from their activity, for example the road will go across the human instead of the human walking across the road, not the dog will be barking in reply to the music but the music will sound after the dog, it will be not the hand gathering apples but the apple will tear off the human's hand etc. But it's not the end of physical life, it is just the poles exchanging. The picture «Undigested Saveloy» represents the mind form of the brain trust, the complexity of all the wrathful gods. It reflects ideas of the physical integument disruption, which doesn't cause the mind concept to collapse. On the contrary it leads to much more clear perception of the Truth. All the chaos integrates into the central symmetrical figure of the two-headed sawman, sacrificing his limbs to himself. He is cutting off slices of first-rate saveloy but not to satiety and satisfy but to disappear in the emptiness.
