Art as Philosophy

[Journyman16]

Caveat: I'm not much into most paintings. I look at it and see if it stirs me in some way and if it does I think of it as good art. Most 'modern' paintings leave me cold and I fail to see why people pay so much for something a child might have done in a tantrum.

These drawings do not fit that category - I think they are stunning and evocative. Every so often we meet or hear of someone with an imagination so precise, so gifted, it is humbling.

I place the link here because of what they question about underlying philosophies of life and the world. If a Mod wants to move it, so be it.

Unlike you I don't like that, because it portrays literacy as a burden, while I find it to be an advantage.

Ah... see I took it as showing that politics is toxic and we should not simply drink the stuff they spew so readily. Those seem to be speech papers in his hand rather than a book. And the 'Don't drink the water' seems fairly clear to me.

On the subject of art - can anyone see/feel anything when looking at this (divine gemometry visiual)?

If so, what do you see?

It puts me in a very hypnotic state.

What do you think it represents?

It puts me in a very hypnotic state.

What do you think it represents?

Center of the Universe, the galaxies (?)
You can look at it for quite sometime wondering the possibilities.
Yes, definitely the center is that force you mentioned..
