Statement

Since there are cultural expressions, artists search for symbols. When words are insufficient, pictures start. Khomski works in this tradition. His paintings explore relationships between consumerism and mass production, fresh food and fast food, pop art and religion.

In the latest works, symbols are made of food. Intriguing, surprising and in a way, logical. The man became man thanks to Eve's apple. The orb is the apple of power. Food and vegetables in particular stand for fertility and vitality. The Horn of Plenty is filled with fruit, the grape bunch is the symbol for the Last Supper.

Maybe Khomski prepares a last supper for each religion. Or, perhaps it is an expression of irony. Or the everlasting circle of life. Or a message to everyone which says: enjoy healthy symbols but don't die for a cross or a half moon; but eat them and celebrate the life. Don’t idolize the Material Values. Be careful changing the Nature. Don’t make a Golden Calf out of Your House, Car or Food. Consume them, don’t worship them. As The famous Czech author Yaroslav Gashek said: “People, be vigilant!” Khomski studied the old masters profoundly. He translates their ideas to images of the 21st century in which the observer defines the spiritual content of symbols.
