Painting Overview
The first painting from Igor Shulman’s project New Saints — a humanistic and socially reflective series of 16 works. This piece features the monologue of a sheep, confronting the viewer with unsettling yet necessary truths about our shared world.
Artist’s Insight
I am beginning to publish my project New Saints. The project was completed and exhibited last year. I wanted to present it in its entirety, but the platform’s limitations do not allow me to do so.
This means I will exhibit one painting at a time — but frequently.
The project is both humanistic and social. It consists of 16 works of various sizes created on different materials. I will introduce them gradually.
All the works are numbered, and I will post them in random order. I will also publish the texts written on these paintings. Some of you may find them shocking, for which I apologize in advance.
And now, a monologue from a sheep:
– My wool is clearly not enough for you. That is why you eat my children - 500 million a year.
All figures and facts are taken from public internet sources.
