DETAILS:

* Name: New Gustav Klimt. Black women friends

Collection "Black Muses or What If..."

Idea: The "What if…?" series of works, where I am trying to answer one of the most important questions in my art, what if we imagine the world in reverse? For centuries, the most famous artists have been white men. Their muses have always been white, too. I fantasise what would happen if the world's masterpieces had depicted black people.
In my work I reinterpret famous paintings of great masters. I like imaginary dialogues with them and suggest modern interpretations of their ideas.
What if we imagine the world in reverse?
What seems established, unshakable to us, is just a point of view shared centuries ago. And if, centuries ago, artists had taken modern approach, those paintings would now be regarded as the established concept.
The world is constantly evolving, and classic subjects have lost much of their relevance.

In creating the painting, I was thinking how Klimt's painting might look today.

For example, why couldn’t women friends be black?
