"The Evil Painter is an invented semantic model aimed at evading the norms of its designated public sphere. It dismisses ‘good’ or ‘bad’ as constraining aesthetic categories assigned to painting and straightforwardly makes a claim for an ethical and political evaluation of its network of concepts. By approaching the political it claims that artistic creation is deeply embedded in the existing political formations and by refusing its designated definition it preserves its own right to define, the right to create a nomos of its own, demonstrating how art may be able to conceive new political platforms.
