Presents

Dorel Topan

2019

ENG EST

Dorel Topan (b 1963) is a Romanian painter. In his artworks one can see candy, empty beer cans, toys in glass jars etc painted in detail. Current oil painting Presents depicts plastic bags full of toys. Therefore it can be seen as a step further from everyday objects that the Pop artists depicted and glorified. Full shopping bags are an independent symbol of consumer society. As the shopping bags are too full it might also appear that they are full of garbage waiting to be taken out. The “religion” of the consumer society is shopping and at the end of the day one can ask how shopping bags differ from garbage bags!?
Dorel Topan (s 1963) on Rumeenia maalikunstnik. Tema maalidel on näha detailselt maalitud komme, tühje õllepurke, klaaspurkides mänguasju jm. Õlimaal “Presents” kujutab kilekotte, mis on pungil täis mänguasju. Teost võib vaadelda kui järgmist sammu igapäevaobjektidest, mida popkunstnikud kujutasid ja ülistasid. Pilgeni täis poekotid on tarbimisühiskonna iseseisev sümbol. Kuna poekotid on aga liiga täis, võivad nad näida ka prügikottidena, mis ootavad väljaviimist. Tarbimisühiskonna “religioon” on ostlemine ning  päeva lõpuks saab küsida, kuidas poekotid prügikottidest erinevad!?
