A comic super hero or an antidepressant pill, they both secure the absolute simulacrum – the illusion of protection and security.
The contemporary iconography works in stereotypes.
These stereotypes manufacture copies of the original – archetype, and this particular archetype derives from the concept of God.
In fact the only information, which we cannot acquire by our standard means of perception, and which the religion is calling transcendence, can help us in the new interpretation and orientation for the symbolic systems.
Combining the elements of the orthodox Christianity and the secular iconography in the Metacanon cycle decomposes them and their shutter systems.
Goal: reconsidering their functions and the contradictories between them, uncovering the power seeking mechanism and strictures, determining their political and social roll.
Widely hypertrophied, the iconographic details are amputated from the backsword perspective of the evangelic ethics.
As post operated bodies, they bear the scars from the mass culture. Scars which they don’t want to cover up.
The most valued in the world and the most feared in the world don’t change their places here.
They are left to be in a merciless, egocentric perspective of the secular peace.
A world in which, nobody is sure in the inevitability of their demise.
A world in which, nobody is praying to God because this same Gog may send him someone who will insult him in the name of a spiritual growth.
“Metacanon” doesn`t deceive you that there is a different point of view except the apparent one.
It keeps your balance. “Metacanon” doesn`t take you out of your world, out of your horizon, out of your sight.
The modern man`s dilemma is not between a “God with a restraining mask” and “God – Batman” but in what closes the nameless thumb of God.
And do we have to exclude ourselves form a big part of our lives? This particular part which, in a manner of fact holds up the barrier for entering the world.

Anton Terziev, a contemporary Bulgarian artist, is a master of using sharp irony as his artistic tool to engage with various contemporary subjects. His works are characterized by a profound use of iconography that conveys a stark and critical imagery. In his artistic repertoire, Anton skillfully weaves together elements of stakes, skills, and storytelling, resulting in figurative contemporary art that carries a fine touch of social commentary, humor, and messages about the artist's condition.
Anton Terziev draws inspiration from two distinct sources. Firstly, his art is often born from real-life occurrences, unfolding around him in a way that sparks his creative process. Secondly, his imagination plays a pivotal role in his work, allowing him to craft vivid and thought-provoking imagery. Each of his creations is garnished with subtle elements of pop culture, extracted from movies and books. Embedded within every piece is a narrative, a metatext that enriches the viewer's experience without overwhelming them, for Anton believes that good art communicates softly but effectively.
What distinguishes Anton's work is his unwavering commitment to leaving his audience with a sense of open-ended wonder. His pieces invite viewers to engage in a dialogue with the art, encouraging them to interpret, question, and explore the narratives he presents. Choosing the perfect title for his works is a challenge that he often tackles by drawing inspiration from literature, cinema, or music.
Anton Terziev's career as a painter is intricately intertwined with his identity as a writer. His ideas take shape in the form of paintings and art objects, reflecting his diverse talents. Beyond painting, he brings his artistic vision to life through performances, filmmaking, and design, demonstrating a multifaceted approach to creative expression.
