this bloody picture

crazy russian painting

This picture has caused a bit of a stir on the internet over the last couple of days. I only just came across it a few hours ago. Don’t know if it is indeed a hoax or not, but here is the lowdown.

  • This was painted by a person with a rare and severe mental disorder. He was constantly seeing his own fantasies all around him. He also had a certain phobia (undisclosed).
  • His (the poster’s) psychiatry professor showed this painting in a lecture, and said there was one tell-tale sign in it that showed the painter’s insanity.
  • The professor didn’t say what that sign was, leaving the students to do the guesswork. The only clues he gave was, “don’t look for small details, look at the whole; if you figure out what the phobia was, you’ve got the answer; ask yourself what could have preceded this scene; think of what the place would look like with all the objects removed“.
  • The professor said that during the 15 years of his teaching, only one student had figured it out.
  • The painting is a loose replica of this painting.

I have been reading this blog and it appears that nothing concrete has come out of anyones investigations. The Professor that is mentioned has apparently showed up to some meeting and explained some things. I dunno, it’s weird and it freaks me out.

Bill Gates for President (lol)

I’d think he would make an… interesting President.

A trip to North Korea

Artemii Lebedev

This is pretty crazy, it’s a photo essay on a russian guys (Artemii Lebedev) trip to North Korea. It has been translated by another guy from the original article in Russian.
The images posted are usually of things never photographed by visitors as the tour guides (who are compulsory) are quite strict on what you can and can’t photgraph.

It is an interesting scene, it looks like they are stuck in the 50′s.

Artist of the Month: Above

above

As there are so many artists we would like to share our humble space with, I thought I would start at A and work my way slowly and carefully to Z.

A is for…. Above. I first stumbled across this work about 2 years ago, and it is still not really clear who this artist is, or what exactly is being expressed through the installation-type pieces. Contemplating the questions, such as What is above? and Can you feel Above? have led to fascinating and memorable conclusions, but still (it seems) no closer to the truth.

Perhaps this quote (which appears on the Above website) has something to do with it. “Ten People Who Speak Make More Noise Than Ten Thousand Who Are Silent” – Napolean Bonaparte

On the eternal quest for truthiness (as inspired by Stephen Colbert), I still ask, as the website suggests, what is Above?

I would appreciate any additional information on this fascinating and enigmatic artist. If you find something out and don’t tell me, I will be very, very cross.
