53rd Venice Biennale:

Pagan Religion as a human need

expressed through the art.

53rd Venice Biennale

 

The artists exposing at the 53rd Venice Biennale and their artworks interpreted through Pagan Religion.

The ancient Greeks used to say that art can make people closer to the comprehension of the Gods in life.

Those artists in Venice demonstrated this:

 presented by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan

10) Africa as Mother of Life: old people and nostalgia.

11) Buddhist ideology in art at the 53rd Venice Biennale

12) Decline and abandon at the Venice Biennale

The present as an absolute in the individual's perception

13) Witchcraft's life and knowledge at the 53rd Venice Biennale

So the Venice Biennale showed, once again, that the culture in which the artist lives is not so important, but it’s the art expressed by him/her that can arise in us those emotions that link us to the world in which we live.
