"Jeff Koons & Damien Hirst share the art market"



"Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst share the art market" was inspired by Michael Houellebecq's novel "The Map and the Territory". I've shown two artists from different cultures who are quite strong personalities in the contemporary art world. The painting is full of references to their art (like the skull, inflatable dolphin, shark or Koons' relationship with Cicciolina which is expressed by the artificial erotic doll). Like in most of my paintings, everything seems to be on the borderline, placed between real space and postcard view, between lifeless sculptures and real figures of artists, between irony and honest respect to sanctioned art and artists.
