"The Fermi Paradox"
Nenad Gojkovic, 2023
The work is inspired by a little-known, hardly discussed or considered hypothesis of highly ethical aliens concerning the Fermi paradox. White beings are a highly evolved race of aliens whose primary activity is to search the universe for biospheres and instantly destroy them out of compassion.

"Anti-Laocoon"
Ernst Fuchs, 1965.
Fuchs's images are grotesque. The objectivity of depicting even the simplest object is not about him. Many things are exaggerated and deformed, but not everything. As if to counterbalance the numerous deformations and even ugliness in many works, images with the same emphasized classical beauty are introduced. Although there is a certain morbidity in them, they are always "on the edge"

"Sabotage of Inmendham"
Nenad Gojkovic, 2023.
The painting depicts an anti-natalist subject. An unborn child is given a cassette tape by Inmendham (one of today's antinatalist philosophers), on which are recorded horrifying events that will come true in his life. Because of this, the child decides not to be born, causing the DNA to go crazy, much to Inmendham's delight.

"Babylon: Handing the Key of the Abyss to the Kings of the World"
Michael Hutter, 2012.
Michael Hutter is a representative of the surrealist genre. He studied Fine Arts at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences from 1983 to 1986 and since then has had a rather lively exhibition activity in Germany and abroad. He repeatedly mentions Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel as his inspirations.

"Phone Booth"
John Brakke, 1954.
The pointedness of the outline of the body makes the figure seem to be part of the surrounding inanimate forms. The act of communication, which is meant to create a bond between people, here evokes a sense of unnaturalness and disconnection, a desperate attempt to shout to someone who will not hear you anyway. In this way, Brakk expressed his attitude towards the experience of urbanization, urban life and their social consequences.

"Circle of Lust"
William Blake, 1821.
Blake is generally considered one of the founders of "free love." He opposed forced abstinence, believed that women have the right to self-realization. Calls for chastity called hypocrisy. In the artist's opinion, the outside world turns love from an attachment into an obligation because of the demands to observe iron fidelity.

"Hope"
George Frederick Watts, 1886.
The work is quite in the spirit of symbolism: a shrunken, as if from fear or cold, blindfolded figure hugs a broken lyre. Is hope always blind? Or can music save us, even if the world is crumbling around us? In works like this, everyone finds their own meaning.

"Goodbye Hello"
Raymond Douillet
Quite an interesting painting, with meaning, depicting the fleeting cycle of life. At first glance, the work of the French artist looks very simple and understandable, however, upon detailed study there are many questions that do not have unambiguous answers. The painting caused a lot of discussions, the participants of which tried to find the best interpretation of the plot.
The longer and more closely you look at this picture, the more interesting it becomes. The most heartbreaking part is the loneliness after the second turn. Others are most distressed by the moment between the center of the composition and the second turn. Others try to understand what happens between childhood and middle age.

"St. Augustine and the Devil"
Michael Pacher, 1471-1475.
The painting depicts St. Augustine looking at Satan as the leader of Hell holds a book in which he appears to be urging St. Augustine to write his name. Satan is depicted in a monstrous and even somewhat perverted way, something that has not been done before by other artists.

Illustration
Rudolf Sieber-Lonati, 1965.
The peak of this artist's creative activity was in the 50s-80s of the XX century, and he mainly collaborated with European publishers and created illustrations for German and Austrian collections of detective stories, mystery and science fiction. In these, Lonati's illustrations were often much more interesting than the textual content itself.
