Nemish Art, Project

THE GIST OF THIS PROJECT LAYS IN THE IDEA THAT COMPREHENDING SMILEYS IN ARTISTIC CONTEXT A HUMAN CAN TRANSPOSE ONESELF INTO SIMILAR SITUATION AND TO ANALYZE AND EMOTIONALLY PROCESS IT.
In general :smiley, emoji, emoticon – schematic representation of human’s face, that is used to convey emotions. In spite of the fact that smiley has quite a long history now (first smileys appeared at the end of 19th century), it became an element of mass culture only with the spreading of Internet and consequently its users. Versatile usage of smileys is caused by human’s desire to identify oneself through schematic picture, to which one’s emotional condition is assigned.
Works are accomplished with oil paint on glass.
