Work

He is a representative of Appropriation Art Bidlo led by a performance by a biographical anecdote, in which he dressed as Jackson Pollock urinating in an open fireplace. For his exhibitions he allowed artworks by Andy Warhol and Constantin Brancusi finished in series. Currently, he produced thousands of drawings and models of the readymade " Fountain" by Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp's ready -made is considered one of the most important contemporary works of art. One can therefore understand both as an homage to Duchamp as a symbolic execution of the generation gap Bidlos project.
