Napoleon Bonaparte Banksy Hommage
Felix von Altersheim
Felix von Altersheim means Felix, from the retirement home. He is a multimedia artist of German origin. His website is full of remixed creations suitable for modern Pop art, with famous people (Kate Moss, David Bowie etc), bright colors and well-known motifs from the works of other artists (Banksy, Andy Warhol). This work is based on Jacques-Louis David’s early 19th century work on Napoleon and is in turn a tribute to Banksy’s work. In Banksy’s Paris piece, Napoleon is completely covered in red fabric and this symbolizes how the government blinds people with false promises and also refers to the ban on wearing the burka.
Felix von Altersheim tähendab otsetõlkes Felix, vanadekodust. Tegemist on Saksa päritolu multimeedia kunstnikuga. Tema koduleht on täis kaasaegsele popkunstile kohast remiksitud loomingut, kus on omal kohal kuulsad inimesed (Kate Moss, David Bowie jne), erksad värvid ning tuntud motiivid teiste kunstnike loomingust (Banksy, Andy Warhol). Antud teos tugineb Jacques-Louis Davidi 19. sajandi alguse teosel Napoleonist ning on omakorda austusavaldus Banksy teosele. Banksy Pariisi teosel on Napoleon üleni punase kangaga kaetud ning see sümboliseerib, kuidas valitsus inimesi valelubadustega pimestab ning ühtlasi viitab see burka kandmise keelule.
