Theme
The common meaning of cynicism connotes contempt and grievance. Reaching back to the origin of the word, however, we find a more positive meaning, one that refers to a free and rebellious school of wisdom. Cynicism and art should therefore not be seen as strange bedfellows. Indeed, the combination provides artistic opportunities to explore the pleasure of existence, freedom, simplicity, boldness, and marginality, through the representation of our world and its somewhat dark realities.
