Art Post some ART that you're feeling today - and why?

=D=That image is taken from a guy I worship called Antoine D'Agata, his done so much stuff & a lot of it is what people call "dark"
He has had real issues with hard drugs for years, his life could be turned into a movie no joke.

A really gritty documentary with him in is called "The Cambodian Room: Situations with Antoine D'Agata" & you can stream it online, if you go to watch it keep in mind it is all real & not staged for "art" sake or some rubbish like that. The guy is so far removed from that usual Art school type of person it is a joke.

"There's something about Cambodia that is far, far away from morality." These are words of photographer Antoine D'Agata who travelled to Cambodia in order to find the limits of his own morality, with unconsciousness and desire being the main themes. Drug abuse, sexual acts and inertia underlie the unsettling images used in this film. The dark, stifling room of prostitute Lee in Phnom Penh functions as residence and studio of the photographer. As time passes, journalist Philippe Azoury visits his photographing friend who is starting to doubt his own unconventional method and his overall work as a photographer."
I looked for it on the internet but it doesn't look like it's available to stream anywhere. Do you know how I could see it? I've never been to Cambodia but I've been to other locales in SE Asia that are centered on the sex trade.
 
Wow this looks so much like a road in my girlfriend's town that I was about to PM you as to whether it's the same place... then I noticed the dryness and the cactus. Pretty crazy though.

hehe .Joe, Love those pics that capture breaches of common sense that we are blind to. =D
 
I came across this in a random photo-search its pretty cool and made me chuckle.

Penfield's 3 dimensional homunculus is a physical representation of the human body, located within the brain.

It's pretty cool alright.

There is the Motor and Somatosensory cortical, map/Homunculi.

This is kind of interesting.




Imagine that people will be purchasing these; the cost of a trip to a developing country, with fees for sexual services, someday. May also prevent human trafficking, child abuse etc.

^ There s a place in Big Sur on the Central California Coast called Nepenthe. This art looks like it could have been inspired by those cliffs, pasture, ocean and overhanging black branches (which are always full of crows and jays). I love the Japanese woodcut aspect of it. Here is a painting I did from the spot I am thinking of that your post brings to mind, though I did not put the overhanging branches in:



Another artist you may like that also was inspired by Big Sur is Tom Killion.

Beautiful.

Nice, I like it, very unique. Kinda reminds me of Ren & Stimpy a little bit for some reason, less gritty but pretty grotesque (in a good way).

Thanks. I like hearing that because my main influence as a kid was ren and stimpy. This one was a commission. The person asked for Grateful Dead bear and ocean colors.
