He is a representative of Appropriation Art . Bidlo put on a performance based on a biographical anecdote in which he urinated in an open fireplace disguised as Jackson Pollock . For his exhibitions he had works of art by Andy Warhol or Constantin Brâncuși produced in series. He is currently producing thousands of drawings and models of the ready-made "Fountain" by Marcel Duchamp . Duchamp's ready-made is considered one of the most important works of art of the modern age. Bidlo's project can therefore be understood both as a homage to Duchamp and as a symbolic processing of the generation conflict.
