In his works, artist Dorijan Šiško searches for meaning in the post-internet world through ironic distance by filtering popular culture and direct expression. In relation to the internet, these works are a contemplation of the post-ironic cultural mindset, mixed with an unpleasant touch of psychological introspection. Dark reflections slowly emerge, edgy and trash becomes mainstream, trendy figural meme paintings have to be thrown into an “Ironic Abyss”.
