Abstract:

This analysis aims to present to a specialized public the artist’s conception and the process of creation of the ‘Flying Shirts’ project. Its creative interest is focused on the artistic intervention in everyday life objects, thus making them stand out and acquire the special meaning and status projection of ‘works of art’. An essential characteristic of this project’s different viewpoint is recognizing the authenticity of the Shirts as artefacts by embracing their unique attribute of personal belonging. This is the central point of reference in the creative programme, in which the original determines the character and state of phantasmal image. The paper considers some problems of composition, pictorial space, colour scheme and the means of expression in the construction of the visual language. The project was inspired by the intellectual and creative profile of the artist Tsanko Petrov (1942–2019), and was carried out in the belief that in its innermost essence every person’s being is linked with the whole Universe.
