Artist Waldemar von Kazak is not afraid of drawing explicit illustrations that serve as a social commentary on today’s world. The artist usually mixes fantastic sci-fi pin-up art creating distinct drawings characterized by dark undertones. For this post, we’ve selected some images from his gallery that lean towards the safer side, but if you would like to see the full spectrum, feel free to check out his social media accounts for more. More info: Instagram | Facebook “Human civilization, I am referring specifically to Western civilization, is commendable in its continual search for new approaches regarding gender and social categories. Some steps appear quite bold, especially from the perspective of conservatives. These points of tension provide ample material for artistic interpretation. However, I do not consider social satire to be my specialization. I wouldn’t call it inspiration, although social life is undeniably interesting. I simply have a spontaneous reaction to the news on social media and express it through drawing. Unfortunately, I find myself creating a lot of commercial art, leaving me with little time to illustrate these amusing collisions for myself,” commented Waldemar. Waldemar replied: “I believe much of the public reaction can be described as irritation. Some are bothered by short skirts, while others are irritated by long beards. Some are willing to slit throats for their imaginary gods, while others are outraged that most still eat meat. If all cultures become equally tolerant, paradise will come. For now, however, we, as expected of primates, loudly shout and brandish clubs. And unfortunately, some of them are nuclear.” “I do not believe I have any explicit content. Furthermore, overt pornography irritates me. If someone finds something I draw objectionable, they can simply choose not to view my work. It’s not difficult. Of course, the politics of social media and all these shadow bans for nudity seem absurd and hypocritical to me, and artists suffer the most from them.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
