Y'know at first it looked to me like it was skin being suspended by the wires, but now that i think about it, it's more likely skin being stretched by the wires... like for a canvas... to paint on... which makes me think about how the lips are 2D to the wires and the 'skin', which makes it look even more like it's jumping off of my screen which just screws with my head... this picture is full of paradox... really nice - you've got some talent with them oils! Definately a multi-talented individual... i'd like to see more of your traditional art pieces!

Strong imagery, the painting has an interesting mix of painfully stretched out flesh and commonly popularized lip piercings. One might look back on this painting with the context of the younger generation's fad towards piercings being used as fashion and the older generation viewing these body modifications as excessive and ugly. I was definitely pulled in by this piece from one thumbnail among a group of others.
Your use of light and color are the strongpoints in this work but your lines tend to be a bit soft. The upper lip area smudges a bit, and contrasts with the very sharply outlined edges in other places. The string looks good, but I am unsure how it would appear close up in real life. I can see the edges of where the string was cut, and that ruins the illusion of them pulling on the flesh. Perhaps if you cut a hole into the actual painting and ran the string through it.
The background is an acceptable color, but I somehow feel that its potential isn't fully being used. Maybe if it looked like an old cutting board, or some ultra clean hospital table, something to set the scene.
I also feel in this case that the painting would benefit strongly from a flat or glossy background, rather then a matte. Not that you can change this now, but something to note for future works perhaps.

thanks you very much for your honest response. sometimes the completely positive feedback isn't as fulfilling as those with some constructive criticism.
on a side note, this was a grade 12 painting class assignment that was a skin tone study, nothing that was supposed to be too flashy, but i chose to take the extra step and make it more of a peice than a simple study.
uberthanks for the feedback!!

this is awesome....you have the lips, the metal..it even looks a little like a bit of smoke/breath escaping from the lips..either that or someone hiding behind them... (right in the middle there) and the threads look so real
i'm betting this could be made into a poster like *that* very very cool, and well done
thanks for sharing
