Different colours - love it. Are those tentacles down at the bottom? It feels almost nautical to me. More undersea monsters?

This is pretty! It kind of gives off a dark vibe to me (do I sound like a weird over-analyzing art critic?).

thanks sweetie. I'm glad you like it. I'm coming round to its name too. After hearing everyones different reaction to this orange lava explosion - very interesting. But I think Journey Down works fine. Its a bit suggestive without being indicative.

bear69designs [2007-04-17 02:39:51 +0000 UTC]

Maybe the "angry" impressions come from the abundance of red hues? This actually seems oriental to me, like the sort of motifs you see painted on Chinese screen dividers and such.

Title suggestion: Sanguine Psyche

or

Sanguine Psyche of the Man O' War
(Sanguine being a sort of double-entendre here, denoting the reds in the composition and also the blythe "attitude" that a Portuguese Man O' War seems to exhibit as it floats and bobs on the ocean [even though they are bluish in color]. The painting resembles a Man O' War to my eye, plus is sort of a psychedelic trip into the mind.)

Nice double entendre! Like sanguinella orange juice! Bright red! Hmmm.

I see a decaying human... decayed into ashes by rage, hatred, anger, bloodshed and worldly pleasures (symbolised by the green patches)

Abstract. amazing use of colors.

Really! Haha thats great! I've been getting "anger" from most of my critiques on this today. You are the first to say "tranquility". Still these colours seem to inspire emotive responses from everyone.

very powerful emotion portrayed here... I can't look at this and only see lava

amyhooton In reply to spencerm [2007-04-16 12:16:32 +0000 UTC]

it seems everyone is seeing emotion in this. Bizarre bunch of people you all are..

So what else do you see apart from lava? Note me if you want to keep private, but I'd love to know more.

spencerm In reply to amyhooton [2007-04-16 14:05:17 +0000 UTC]

A flowing conflict in which a few entities are involved. They are moving through whatever their dimension is with intensity and perhaps a bit of anger. This anger is emotionally based as opposed to logically based [there is no true reason for it] and fuels a productive clash. It shows the necessary connection between intellect and emotion.


something like that

amyhooton In reply to spencerm [2007-04-16 14:30:21 +0000 UTC]

Thats very interesting! I think its the red/orange that produced the emotional association with anger. Like a red rag to a bull... But i like the point you make about it being not logically based. Its more of base instinct that conscious logic I suppose.

I love these vaguely philosphical intellectual DA chats about art.
