Historical characters in a modern look
Now it’s hard to imagine how many of these people would live if they were born in our time. Of course, not every one of them would choose for himself the image of a hipster. Among the characters of the works are our contemporaries. One way or another, we can say for sure: the hipster image is very to their face.
The artist became world famous after a series of his works entitled Hipstory. The main idea of his work is to show the viewer famous personalities in a young way. The characters of his work are 20-30 years old, and all of them are hipsters.
Difference in worldview
“I often think about how big the difference is between the worldview of great people and the views held by representatives of our egocentric generation,” says Shimoni. “The current generation pays much attention to self-expression. But they practically do not delve into issues of ideology. Therefore, I had to spend a lot of time to create holistic, complete images. "
These vivid pictures make you think about great people, about their role in our society. We will enjoy the work of the artist.
