Maybe Hirst - it's not a hymn of decay, and the idea of overcoming fear, division of physical and spiritual?

Maybe so, too, can be positioned. I wonder that all his work in my opinion of course relevant, and it is "scary" relevance. Not the best for the planet relevance, in my opinion.

I think that the rejection of Hirst - a piece which many art lovers will be over time. If interested, talk about their personal experiences. About some of these outstanding kids, I learned in 2004, when preparing an article about the most expensive young hudozhdnikov. http://directorinfo.ru/Article.aspx?...24&iid=612 It lists many of the first names. Hurst was not the first in the list, ahead of his Cattelan - in general, and is now interesting to read. Although five years a lot of water has flowed. On impressions: in art, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Gary Hume fell in love immediately. Chris Ofili at once made the foolish impression, and the girls, Rachel and Jenny Sevil Uaytrid remembered. But with Hurst came out as something "mimoprohodil": the scandal at the customs on the transport of biological materials, some skeletons in closets. In general, the first impression - some banter and rubbish. But only the first. Then, when you begin to follow the evolution of his ideas, so where everything goes (Mexico, blended Catholic feasts of the dead, everyday attitude to death, not peculiar to Europeans) - was interesting. And now confidently say: yes, sometimes it remains vypendezhnikom (as with diamond skull), but generally people doing a titanic intellectual work. At a dedication capable man, free from the need to earn money. Who does not know, Hurst multimillionaire and might well have been lying on the stove (it is a reminder to those who blames the artist in avarice). So watch for his uncommon ideas (and they, unfortunately, is not inexhaustible) are quite fascinating and useful IMHO. Those who want to look into the future.
