"The Family" by Alex Gray.

For those of you not familiar with his art... Alex Gray used to do the anatomy drawings for modern textbooks, and later learned different mystic knowledge systems around the world (eastern medicine, the vedic system, yoga, etc.) and incorporated the non-physical aspects of the human body into all of his art. He even includes the acupuncture meridians and points, which took me years to learn.

A lot of his experiences with the human body and the way he perceives it arose from LSD use, as well as studying different philosophies and religions.

Wow, took me a minute to realise what was going on here. Brilliant.

Shadows are the new acrylic.

 

[panic in paradise]

"Come out!" I cried after just one lightning-fast glance out the window.
I pulled on boots, grabbed the camera and stomped down the stairway.

"What's so urgent?" asked Mr. Wonderful.

"The LIGHT!" I called. "Can't wait! Meet you in the field!"


And it was pure magic.

All those sparkles are just as they appeared in real life.

Only real life, of course, was much, much nicer!


The whole valley was out playing, even the birds.

Everything bright and beautiful and crisp, like the winey air.



Our whole world is muffled in snow. Pure magic.

Artist to the core. Magpie at heart. Living the life I've always dreamed of. My motto: Wonders never cease. If you like the eye candy here, please leave a comment. Hearing from you would make my day.

Blandford Fletcher - Evicted 1887

Evicted presents the narrative of a dispossessed widow and her child, forced to leave their home while the top-hatted bailiff and the village look on.

I went and saw this at the Art Gallery in my city and instantly fell in love with it. It looks much better in the "flesh", where the effect of lighting (or lack thereof) of an overcast sky is more dramatic and apparent.

Léon Bonvin Moonlight Scene

this gets me every time, really amazing piece of work, thanks for posting, need to look up more by Bonvin

 

[alasdairm]

i love this painting (used for the cover of nick cave's 'murder ballads' cd):

independently, it's quite cozy and welcoming. in the context of the cd music, it's somewhat terrifying

Mainly because... I fucking LOVE the work that Jeremy Fish does. Well, that... and I love owls & grenades, and combining them? FUCK YES!

& I mean, there's a gnome riding the owl. how could you not like it?

 

[soundsystem00]

I like this piece because it expresses how brainwashing occurs in the military. Simple, yet elegant.
