Vitamin, Protein, Cocaine Sculpture by Tibor Lazar

Sculpture: Clay, Paint, Plastic, Acrylic on Other.

This composition containing multiple pieces can be arranged in a number of ways. It consists of pieces and motifs we usually see in still lifes. The masterpieces of Flemish or French Rococo painting reached the world in tapestry form in the absence of good reproductions. They reached all corners of the world while the original concept, line of thought and aesthetic were lost. These are the pieces I refer to when I mention the provincial transcripts of larger cultural centres. They reached us in this form as well. I find these pieces more interesting than their originals. The staring point of my work is often a smaller porcelain piece or a Gobelin, in which the colour white is dominant. Porcelain is white, as is the background of the Gobelins. Thus, I also use a lot of white in my works. The title of the piece may be considered provocative due to the use of the word “cocaine”. The word, however, is necessary for its sound. It’s also there because of the colour white, as both cocaine and porcelain are white.In this context, the word “cocaine” refers to the whiteness of porcelain.
