The Paradox And Irony Between Love And Art Paintings!
We’ve all seen those pictures and even art paintings of those two little guys, one burning red and the other lily white with wings standing on a person’s shoulder .We’ve seen them with women and with men. They have many names but the gist of it is that they are pulling at the person at the same time one telling them to follow the right path as the other tells them they’re nothing but a failure and this is the only way to handle the situation.
Let me digress for just a moment, most artist painters grew up with a brush and started with paint in hands, on hands, and often on walls. Someone somewhere said something praising their efforts and that coupled with a flood of inner feelings of creativity released in them an overwhelming desire that what they were doing was all they wanted to do. Over the past twenty-five years parents and teachers in their all-out efforts to encourage to the point of nausea and their non disciplinarian stances on any correction raised legions of expressionists to brand themselves as artists and artist painters. This along with technology, burgeoning galleries, artist communities, towns hungry for new revenue rather than empty old factories, internet galleries and much more has created more artists painting art paintings than the world has ever seen before.
Somewhere along the growth pattern of all of these creators of free visual expression our two diametrically opposed push and pull instructors jumped on board. Struggle, ecstasy, pain, joy, worth, worthless, meaning and nothingness and so many more inner contradictions haunt, move, push and pull the majority of these individuals.
An artist painter may be struck by a scene that he sees and is driven to capture what lays before him like no one has ever seen it. A concept or vision that goes off in one’s head must be translated to canvas with paints that come to life. Deep within the soul and being many an artist experiences such personal pain that their only release is their expression through art paintings. The happiness and joy of the time, the events and the surrounding circumstances dance in a concerto from a canvas reeking with visual expressions. Passion experienced and love’s burn drives every fiber to visibly express those inner emotions. Messages of correction, disturbance of social direction, truth against perception all push for answers and interpretation seen surrounded by magnificent gold frames.
The heart cries out and viewers chime in as they are confronted with themselves and their own inner selves as they are privileged to engage with an artistic expression which has brought them to tears. Visual reminders are placed in strategic locations through personal environments to speak volumes of positives in a negative world. Momentary respites and tranquil colors travel one’s mind miles away from a self servicing, unfulfilled, insatiable world with demands beyond the abilities to deliver.
These conflicts all deal with love and art paintings. They deal with the human struggle for visual freedom and visual expression. They deal with praise and deprecation. They deal with am I a true, real artist or am I just another painter wandering through life trying to find myself and my art.
They in fact deal with all of us and the positives and negatives we struggle with each and every hour of each and every day.
We’ll speak more on these things in the future.
