ACHTUNG ! New Generation of NAZI WARRIORS - " We are unstoppable "

The Krasnals . Whielki Krasnal "New Nazi Warrior / Infanta Conchita / Eurovision 2014/ from the series ' Beauty in Art'" 2014. Oil on canvas. 90 x 60 cm



 ACHTUNG ! New Generation of NAZI WARRIORS - " We are unstoppable "

The new face of dictatorship - GENDER tramples over people to get to the target. Whatever competition it was, quality has nothing to do with it. A gay, transvestite or a lesbian must win it. Once again the freedom of art is violated by reducing it to the lowest level of propaganda. People who vote are treated like cattle, the necessary black mass , being lied to that their voices have any meaning. And the competition has nothing in common with democratic principles.

As this goes on like this, we will not wait long for another Hitler, or at least Bravick.

The triumph of Conchita Wurst has nothing to do with tolerance (drag queen is not a new occurrence), but above all with the degradation of the intellectual value. The fascination of pathetic kitsch in poor execution wins, combined with the use of another opportunity for media to make provocation of gender policy and rolling another political battle. We just observe once again perfidious , instrumental treatment of art.

Culture has always been a sign of the times, and always leaves its traces . Do we face a change in the canon of beauty ? There was already Mona Lisa, then Marilyn Monroe - and now are we ready to canon of Conchita's dominance? If so, be careful on the opposite pole . History likes to repeat itself. The same country gives birth to twins - Hitler and Conchita .

Where is the line between tolerance and dictatorship ? Let us remember what Hitler did having one nucleus , and this person has real two.
One must admit Wurst – that he played the show brilliantly, perfectly executed his political task.

"Battle of Grunwald / Ship of Fools"

The Krasnals "Battle of Grunwald / Ship of Fools". 2012. Oil on canvas. 430 x 990 cm


"The Battle of Grunwald/Ship of Fools’ is no more than an artistic work of fiction. The picture is a light and accessible creation, portraying the events and characters of contemporary Polish history, in an international context. They are little more than cartoons with a sense of humor in the genre of ‘South Park’. The concept of ‘Polish Civil War’ should be taken with a pinch of salt."
.
We received the art monthly Arteon 2013 Award for this painting.

However it provoked big controversy and protest from the All-Poland Committee Against Sects And Violence. Now the case is in Polish court.

GUERNICA - facts & myths - CHAPTER I

.
"good artists copy but great artists steal" Picasso

The Krasnals "Guernica". 2013. Oil on canvas. 180 x 520 cm

google translator:

CHAPTER I

GUERNICA - anti-war painting  or tool in a war? Symbol of the struggle for peace or the struggle for rule and propaganda ?
So the artist, check you measure in your arms and you really want to push the trigger. Are not civilians , ordinary people , children ... ? Are not you an accomplice of Guernica in its modern form ? The white gloves on a long leash ? Analyzing the history of wars , conflicts , power struggles , even those present (Syria, Rewanda , Armenia , the former Yugoslavia , Korea, Vietnam , Afghanistan , Bravick ) , it is fair to say that this image is the foremost symbol manipulation and propaganda. Version of events that reaches the ordinary citizen usually has little to do with the truth . Is it worth it to support one of the parties ? Art in the war plays a key role . Caroline Levine in his book " From Challenge to Democracy ," explains What was the purpose of the CIA in funding known abstractionist painter Jackson Pollock , and for example, in an article in the Independent in 1995, " Modern Art Was CIA weapon " we learn the details of the promotion of mainstream American expressionism abstract . In this context, one might wonder why is commonly believed that the Soviet socialist realism art in the service of Soviet propaganda was worse than the American abstract expressionism ? Because no one wants to believe that she could be at the service of the U.S. and the CIA propaganda and besides, its value is questionable ? The first one for years accused first of all its propaganda purposes. Current question becomes whether rightly American artists became known and achieve the highest in the world auction records and socrealiści are pushed to the margins ? Since so many questions , since Picasso is dead , we decided as a reaction to create another version of Guernica - as a protest against the current form of war, especially today - based on the use of zafałszowanym people in the struggle for power. Not for the common good , not for the beautiful sounding ideas, but for their own interests . We hypothesize that our work is more valuable than Picasso because: a) based on Picasso's Guernica , and by the best artists steal b ) is stripped of pathetic kitsch zafałszowanym ground -based c ) has a much deeper and metaphorical meaning, signals , and be mindful of the kind of modern warfare , where the enemy is blurred , leading the fight compelling public more subtle , unseen agents , mainly using information tools and economic d ) our view is beautiful and the ugly Picasso , because in fact poorly and crudely painted . e) it turns out that not only target imaging has been distorted for propaganda purposes , but the whole biography of Picasso. The Krasnals are, however, genuine , real , and I never lie, they are not perceptibly by anyone because it really does not exist. The true biography of Picasso stripped of myth - legend " whielkiego artist " soon. Wait ! TO BE CONTINUED

The Krasnals boycott the 55th Venice Biennale 2013

Polish Art Collective The Krasnals (The Dwarves), boycott the 55th Venice Biennale.
Alternative Biennale of the The Krasnals - in Polish village called Venice (Wenecja) placed in the central Poland. 



At the day of the opening of the Polish pavilion in Venice, 30th of May, The Krasnals went to the Polish village called like Italian place - Venice, where they organized an alternative representation of Poland and alternative la Biennale di Venezia. This way they manifested their opposition to international exhibitions, and the idea of supported party and tourist event for the artistic elite.
The action criticizes the network of system and friendly contacts, populism and consumerism spreading in contemporary art supported by public funds. The artists boycott fatal political correctness and servility in the art world. They ask what happened with the famous postulate of Georges Pompidou: "Art must discuss, contest and protest." (L'art doit discuter, doit contester, doit protester). We should be conscious, that what changes the world, is the avant-garde artistic revolutionaries, not wards of the system, tied up on a long leash of the guiding system. The task of the wards is to mutter meekly, fawn and occasionally bark, to show "that they are rude."
The Krasnals went to Polish Venice with their own money, organizing their action alone, without controlling curators and other irreplaceable experts. They insist that next Polish representation goes to the Italian Venice Biennale at its own expense, and makes contact with a live public, the real audience, instead of having a nice party with their art fellows from all over the world.
