Ventsislav Zankov
Artist statement
Fear, Passion.
Through different media – sculpture, painting, video, photography, I work with the bodily – physical and immaterial – in a search and interpretation for the baring of the single human life, in realising and pronouncing the sense of emptiness of being, which opens by the individual fitting in the immanent – the social and material in the absence of the transcendental in a thinkable balance. The naked body as an aesthetic ideal and category in the social field becomes undressed, while deserted in the political it turns bare. The bare life of HOMO SACER (Agamben). I try to reach to fine and figurative suggestions, coming from the sensations of this bare life, and in their sharing as an artistic practice the baring to get tolerable.

Regular contributor to electronic and print art media.
His interests lie in painting, sculpture, video art, art installations, art performances and the new media. An active Bulgarian artist, who made a name for himself during the past 2 decades.
At a time when unisex, metrosexuality, transgenderism delete the physical differences between the sexes, masculinity is killed and is solely used for advertising certain brands of cigarettes and cars, the interpretation of David , defeating Goliath , in the 21st century is an elegant transvestite who has cut off the head of the defeated big bearded and hairy Goliath, with which Zankov's David ends the aesthetic trends established by the sculptures of Donatello and Verrocchio, depicting David as a delicate and effeminate young man with a sword in hand.
