Painting Overview
When I started working on this project, the question of presentation arose. Since we’re talking about saints, it seemed only natural to employ some form of iconography. However, as I delved deeper into the subject, I realized that it made no sense to adhere to any specific iconographic tradition. Even more so, there was no reason to rely on the established canons of iconography. Therefore, the project utilizes a conditional Christianity. I thought the least about the religious aspect of the overall context. One could confidently say that it simply doesn’t exist.
In some compositions, there are references to traditional icon painting, while in others, there are some suprematist motifs that are entirely uncharacteristic of old iconography. Yet, I touched upon contemporary iconography and found elements that are completely incompatible with traditional notions of an icon. But all of this exists. It all has a right to exist, despite our usual perceptions. This is where the uniqueness of the project lies. Each painting is entirely unique in its concept, and together they form a cohesive thematic composition of 16 pieces. Thus, the paintings are not exhibited individually and are not sold separately. This is a unified project bound by a single context.
The estimated value of the project is around $100k. This is quite a modest sum considering the effort and time I invested in bringing this project to life. Given the average market value of my works, the price may even seem undervalued. But that’s not the case either. The price is commensurate with the uniqueness of the project.

About Exhibition New Saints
We are responsible for those we have tamed.
You know who.
When I started creating this exhibition, I had no idea how much information I would have to process.
I delved deep into the history of iconography and realized that this is not my method.
Then I dived into statistics and got stressed out.
I touched upon our loved ones, our friends, our pets. I have lived on this earth for a long time and I am not naive enough to think that pets were created solely for the joy of companionship. No, we (humans) simply eat them.
I am not calling anyone to anything with this exhibition. This exhibition is not about what anyone should eat. This exhibition is about mercy.
I am aggressively trying to draw your attention to this issue. This is my manifesto.
Why did I name my exhibition this way? For me, all these animals are holy for one simple reason.
They have not harmed anyone.
And therefore they have only done good. Isn’t that enough? How many people do you know who meet these criteria?
Moreover, I would call them holy martyrs considering their life circumstances.
I am not interested in the offended feelings of believers and non-believers. The least I thought about was in what form these paintings were made.
The fact that they sometimes resemble icons does not make them so.
You will find on these paintings not only horrifying statistics but also learn what animals think of you. You may even be able to read their monologues in their native language if you can, of course.
This exhibition is not about religion or faith. This exhibition is about humanism.
Respectfully, Igor Shulman
