A genius and a lowlife
Roman Ivanishchev • Graphics, 2020, 60×80 cm
Description of the artwork «A genius and a lowlife»
Ivanishchev R. Genius and nothingness. 2020. Watman, graphite. 60x80 cm. Eighth work in the series "Stones with graphite". Ding, ding. The resource is designed for approximately 700,000 hours of work.✨? ✨
The Cassini space probe flew to Saturn for about seven years. The images it took can be easily found on the Internet. One photo alone of Saturn's hexagonal pole with a rose-shaped vortex can be viewed endlessly. Humans are kind of probes, too. It is said that astronauts sit inside them, others claim that they are completely on automation. They have a lifespan of about 700,000 hours.
In the ocean of the universe, through worlds and spaces, the "genius "* flies surrounded by his entourage. He looks out from the neckline of his mask with a stately haughtiness. A spoon hits the walls of the glass, like the sound of bells, signaling his approach. Ding, ding. Around him, wings flap and hooves stomp, incredulous faces mutter words. Ding, ding. With cold calmness he stirs in the glass with a teaspoon. Ding, ding. Sugar turns into a solution. Opposite, on the beam hang, slightly dilapidated, cloths. As the air between them walks, merging with the background and all the contents of the "nothingness". Zing.

*The Romans used the word "genius" to refer to a patron spirit.
