TOXICOMANIE - Some words about my new serie

The „Toxicomanie” is a medical term of Greek extraction. It means the peccant wish for the toxins, first of all the drogs. 

In Csernatony Lukacs's newest serie processes compulsorily lineing up consumer icons like the toxin of  society.

His figures are cultic mems, what purport the visuality of catholic kitsch, brands and consumer identity (etc).

The sense-changed pop heroes, who are incarnated of the urban folklore, that appears in my context like the trauma of the wish of the narcotization. 

These pictures are propagator posters, which don’t promote certain product, but only life-feeling. So the onlookers can muster them free.
