The killer; The internet; The Artist

The discovered My Space profile of the alledged serial killer in England who was recently apprehended by British police has brought up many questions about expression. Some how it made me think of all people, the British Artist Damien Hirst. Mr. Hirst is known for his preoccupation with death. The images from My Space taken by Mr. Stephens make a chilling example of what artists may want to look at for future shows. My Space has the sort of appeal that is completely open to artists to use as a device of their art, but moreso,with so much exhibitionism by people from all walks of life and spectra, who is to say that more of this strangeness will not inevitably filter into artwork in the very near future.

The Chinese curse, “May you have an interesting Life.” Seems to be the modus operandi of our world today. In the 1990’s we had war as televised. Today we have serial killer and pedophiles as televised. - Adele

Richard Bolai lives and works from Trinidad, West Indies. He is a bookbinder,Graphic designer and the author of thebookmann, which from 2004, has written and photographed independently aspects of Trinidad and Tobago's art culture.

In 2008, he began a series of self studies called Feinin which incorporated digital superpositions of artists who have left a mark in art history by using the internet as the core of reference. He also produced parodies relating to anthropological studies of Trinidad and Tobago, for example, folklore or observations of the society via class and stereotypes

The work then expanded by actually creating dimensional replicas, capturing a map over the subjects to explore the underling subconscious in the form of art. This aided the ability to analyze art by producing art parodies to understand the meaning behind it. No money was spent or assistance in producing these compositions from common items found in his home, a chair, a mirror, or old tyre.

The artists lists includes, da Vinci's Last Supper, Koons's dog, Hirst's spin paintings, Andres Serrano's piss Christ to Monet to name a few, over one hundred artists' have been completed, producing one in every 24 hour cycle.

It should be noted that with the feinin studies, you should see that actual work that is been parodied via the link. It makes no sense otherwise.
