NEW ALBUM: CULTURAL HEGEMONY
The aesthetic shift toward expressionism initially prompted by the social, cultural and psychological repercussions of the Industrial revolution has echoed through current trends of Globalization.  In the wake of destroyed local traditions and cultures, urban living invariably brings to bear profound feelings of alienation, loneliness, and skepticism about the true relationship between oneself and nature. These are the underliying dilemmas New Liberation explores through the artistic tropes of imperfection, malfunction, and error. Examining the disintegration of systems and ideals visual in the social landscape and exploring on a personal level the inner self within this tumultuous context.


 Under the influence of Kantian introspective ideas, Nietzschean pessimism and Existentialist doubts in tune with rapid developments in psychoanalysis, New Liberation has grasped the hidden spirit of modernity and post-modernity by privileging the Subjective over the Objective, Feelings over Reason and facilitated it as the Return of the Repressed. For New Liberation, art is not merely an act of reproducing nature, but a passionate reaction to the visible in a uniquely personalized manner.

"Tradition cannot be inherited, and if you want it you must obtain it by great labour. It involves, in the first place, the historical sense, which we may call nearly indispensable to anyone who would continue to be a poet beyond his twenty-fifth year; and the historical sense involves a perception, Not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence; the historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of the literature. 

This historical sense, which is a sense of the timeless as well as of the temporal and of the timeless and of the temporal together, is what makes a writer traditional. And it is at the same time what makes a writer most acutely conscious of his place in time, of his contemporaneity. "

T. S. Eliot
