Darkinism
Art should be realized to the end, not superficially. I am against leaving a person alone with his thoughts after what he has seen. An idea\resonant problem must be recreated, shown and made clear how to solve it.
What is Darkinism?
Darkinism is a state of mind in which a person may experience comfort in the dark. Darkness refers to a depressed state, depression, lack of energy, and other more severe mental peculiarities.
Darkinism is realized through art thanks to a formula.
The Formula of Darkinism
State of Darkness
The stage of the problem, the event to which the artist is reflecting.
The idea and thought behind the original concept. The message that needs to be conveyed to society.
Action
Illuminating and explaining the problem through art. Exhibitions, performances, film screenings.
Solution
Show exactly how this problem can be solved. For example, through lectures, seminars, communication in general as part of the event.
Internal balance
Return to a state of darkness, but with a resource of strength and knowledge that will help balance and comfortably solve any problems.
Society's problems
Millions of people feel unaccepted by society every day. The common standards of smiling, cheerful advertising are very different from real life.
One feels like an outsider based on popular information on social media and all over the world media.
A smile is not necessarily sincerity, honesty, openness, and trust.
A smile is a certain position of the facial muscles, behind which any intentions and states can stand.
The Culture of Darkinism
Over the past few years I have organized many solo exhibitions in Ukraine using the Darkinism formula.
Works from the Immortlal series were shown in New York in November 2022.
At the moment Darkinism as a philosophical art style is just starting its way, but it has already borne its fruit in the form of a lot of positive feedback.
