Thanks, Catspaws! I appreciate your thoughtful open-mindedness! Yes, the presentation is not very glitch-like, but in the mind of conservative tastes it's definitely shaking-it-up error! ;-)
Thank-you, Brian, Klara, and Laertis! The work really has little to do with human sexuality... it's more about how the aesthetics of paint drips have become an obsession for some.
Thanks so much, Tini! I think change is good... and I appreciate art that pushes the line, is different and intellectually engaging! Like you, I think that art can be a platform to communicate our frustrations with styles, attitudes, or with the plethora of boring, meaningless, and derivative art.
Thank you, Dragos! There's three kinds of space in this image: the flatness of the actual surface, the illusionary 3-D hovering drips and brushstrokes that cast shadows, and the photograph which is very highly pixelated. I appreciate you taking the time to notice more than first glance would assume! :-)
Thank you, Nicklas! It's good to know who the small percentage of intellectually courageous people are! Quality, not quantity is the important thing about both friends and art!
Thanks, Catspaws... but I seriously doubt that the folks that need to be challenged and that could benefit from learning different perspectives actually will take the time to read this. Another aspect of this piece is that the paint is digitally created. I scanned ink images and painstakingly made them textured and 3-D without the benefit of any automatic software. Similar to the faux antique look of processed photography (another kind of porn), I chose to create paint artificially to communicate an analogy to these textured photos... culturally, deceptive effects are the norm, not the exception.
Thank you so very much, Def29, Moonlight, and Eric! I truly appreciate the kindness! I hope you all enjoyed reading what I'm trying to do with this new work! ;-)
