thankyou for perhaps the greatest painting i've ever seen.

What a powerful piece of art! +fav

One thing that really speaks to me -and I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet in their comments- is the varied emotion I see in the different people's eyes. Some people, eyes downcast and glazed, look content in their haze of preoccupation. (Ignorance is bliss?) Others appear to be looking around and noticing the presence of others. They seem lost and lonely... maybe even anxious and frightened. Are they uncomfortable to be in the presence of others when they wish to be alone? Are they embarrassed about the intensity of their devotion to their own private fetishes? Perhaps they are just lonely because they don't know how to actually connect with each other anymore???

I love this piece because it provokes. Thank you for sharing!

I have a book with this picture in it.
I loved it, so I found out more about you and your work.
And then I realized that you probably were my favourite artist.
And now I find you here, that's odd.

I bet that a little oceanelf threw some magic dust at you when you were a child, and it just fickled with your brain so much that you had to become a marvellous artist. I'm certain of it.

Kenny!!

Tres cool. I like the concept and your presentation...says a lot about our society's obsession with gadgetry that distracts us from the importance interaction with people face to face and our problems. Like being alone together.

Fraeulein [2005-02-27 10:42:01 +0000 UTC]

I like this painting so much, it is extremely expressive. Preoccupations. I understand your painting as the messeage that we spend too much time on things like internet, watching tv and spending time on our own in general. Not much socializing any longer. That's also underlined my those hoods that shield the view to each other. The same clothes express dull uniformity, as if we are all the same, as if we are doing all the same which is living next to each other without much interaction. I don't know if that what you wanted to express but that's what I get out of it. Wonderful piece, great job
