Giclée print on canvas, Cargo cult, 2023, by Kartashov Andrey, Russia, 21st century. 1 of 250 limited prints.

When the iron curtain finally fell, a load of attributes of a new formula of happiness fell on the head of the new man, exposed to the winds of change. The enticing transatlantic shimmering and the song of sirens with their nasal voices from video salons formed semantic patterns for a whole generation who wished to somehow get its Golden Ticket to that dimension. Now it was possible to take off the armored jacket and enjoy the forbidden fruit. However, it was the prohibition on the fruit that gave rise to the cult of such one. Glossy pictures, which only yesterday served as an impregnable guarantor of existential fulfillment, today turned out to be within walking distance, perhaps causing confusion. Tired of his heroic deeds, Hercules took off his mask and appeared to be Zeus in disguise, the king of the New Olympus, whose star-striped shadow with a Styrian accent covered half the world. Generation P, who had time to enjoy Brodsky, changed his collections to the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, and complimentary passes to the Mariinsky Theater for tickets to the video salon. Time was running out as if it were golden sand of money, which could be used to purchase a more expensive watch, giving the right to come to both the parties of the celestials and the daughters of men. Clay Mercedes and straw planes could be easily purchased with new vouchers. This did not stop one from enviously worshiping fighter planes made of super-strength straw and Mercedes made of clay from the Dead Sea... At least no one forbade looking at the world through the new bamboo glasses catching the ebony gaze of someone for whom a platinum Rolex and a broken Seiko in the hair show the same time, in the face of which even the star-striped Zeuso-Hercules, bending the wooden arc of time and becoming its axis, was yoking thought and balance together. A yoke is a frame fitted to a person’s shoulders to carry a load in two equal portions, and in this picture it serves as a lever for transferring the severity of thoughts (more precisely, a difficult choice) ‒ there is nothing on both ends of the yoke. In this picture, the balance point of the yoke is not the shoulders, but the head ... Andrey Kartashov graduated from the A.

Giclée print on canvas, Sisyphus., 2023, by Kartashov Andrey, Russia, 21st century. 1 of 250 limited prints.

An interpretation of the ancient myth, where the role of Sisyphus is played by a media person, or rather the back of a movie character, patiently rolling a boulder bearing the imprinted artifacts of consumer civilization to the alluring peaks of the glamor of the possible, to the monetized freedom of capital. The boulder becomes a curse and a blessing: the peaks beckon and oblige, there are millions of ways to reach the top and to roll the boulder – they will suffice for an eternity. The hands of the hero, century after century, soften the sharp edges of the boulder, overgrown with new artifacts of cultures and religions... The era of consumption has turned the universe into an illusory pipeline of possibilities. You must be an achiever. You must succeed. You must push up your boulder. Why should you be thinking of the purpose of doing this? In this particular case, we see on the top of Sisyphus’s mountain the outlines of the Statue of Liberty and the Oscar statuette. And the recognizable back of the man who succeeded. But hasn’t the boulder rolled down after touching the coveted peaks? The boulder acts as an allegory of dualism, reconciling the era of claims with a sense of duty. The noosphere of globalization and the ball of a scarab beetle simultaneously...
