Artwork details
The painting "Grateful Listener" is a vivid, surreal, and deeply ironic reflection by Eugene Pokutnev on the phenomenon of information dependency and the crisis of truth in the contemporary world. The composition is built around a visual dialogue between two key elements: * The small person on a chair (barely visible in the lower left section), symbolizing the average individual sitting in a posture of resigned consumption. * The enormous screen (or image that occupies most of the canvas), which transmits an aggressive, complex, and multilayered stream of information. The face, trapped inside the helmet-screen, appears alienated and serves only as a carrier of the data mass. Author uses his signature style, saturated with organic and mechanical forms, bright colors, and sharp lines, to create a feeling of information overload and chaos. The Key Irony: The title "Grateful Listener" is a sarcastic allusion to the docility with which the modern person "absorbs" everything that is broadcast to them from large media resources or "authoritative" sources. The artist draws an analogy with current realities where conventional, objective truth is increasingly being displaced by imposed, often false, or manipulative information. The painting invites the viewer not just to observe, but also to reflect: what exactly are we consuming, and are we truly "grateful listeners" to the manipulations that shape our worldview? This is a sharp commentary on the danger of blind trust in media and the loss of critical thinking. Чи потрібен вам також переклад цієї анотації іншою мовою?
