πŸ”Ž "Zoom in" - a closer look at "Up High"steemCreated with Sketch.

in art β€’Β  7 years agoΒ 

A provocative glass painting I made some ten years ago for a group show. Totally outraged a colleague, who interpreted the exhibition theme of "Gothic" in a more religious way.. but that was also a bit on purpose from my side... My version is more about bigotry and hypocrisy, so.. similar theme, different message.

This is another one of my more extreme vertical formats. Not as strong as Athena, but still almost 1:4. The frame with moving doors supports the strong vertical orientation.

But the "zoom in" series is about a closer look at the details. Patience please, large files ahead!

And please beware of the female nipples!

I like your vertical orientation, as there is a lot of beautiful simbolism in it.Vertical axis represents human body, our upright posture which is unique. It is also a line leading from earth to heaven, with both messages, spiritual, or eternal, as well as temporal. The main message of art in my opinion is to keep this message alive, transforming its temporeal influence into spiritual, or eternal.
Your beautiful colours have the atmosphere of both these elements. Playing with body(nice nipples by the way) and heaven( the look of the young woman saying - what to do with these wings ), shows again your playful humour combined with a deep message. Everything can be taken seriously or as a joke, depending how trully we live any of these. Resteemed

The vertical aspect ratio is lovely, and I smiled reading about your little subversive activity irritating a colleague. Content-wise, my favorite parts are the wings which are just decorations and artifice, rather than angelic and the knowing look on her face. I also like the bright, warm colors for a gothic piece.

Hehe, a little provocation and irritation certainly was in order there.. I just have a problem with egos out of proportion. I took the wing theme even a little further in my painting Hallelujamachine

The Hallelujamachine - a surrealistic approach to a renaissance cheerleader

I have a problem expressing myself when I like something too much. The words that come to mind seem overblown, yet mundane, so I remain quiet.

(It's a serious condition, specialists have been consulted, no cure has been found as of yet.)

I just wanted you to know, this has been the most common reason why I haven't said more about the things you post.

The wings theme is very nice indeed. With regards to Hallelujamachine (great title, btw), my favorite part is actually the perfectly circular cutout revealing not automation, as would be expected, but something organic yet clearly not the usual anatomy.

Your art is my inspiration. ;___;
I really REALLY love it. I silently gaze over your art and I really find inspiration in it! I want to try the same techniques as you! ... Though, painting in glass seems a bit difficult for me... Haha. Cheers! <3 Ill stay here loving your art.

I feel the same about your art. I look at it and wonder how you do it and wish I could do it too... everything is always just perfect! I'm sure you can learn any technique you want.

☝🏼 I love it. Cheeky you are. πŸ˜‰

Hehe, thank you. Everything has its time ;-)

Such a perfect combination of colors! Very beautiful! :)

Getting the colors right on glass is always the biggest challenge. Glad you like them :-)

I love the combination of delicacy and humor in your work.

Thank you, yes, both very important to me :-)

WunderschΓΆnes Bild! Und super Idee es in den Einzelheiten zu zeigen.
Es gibt so viel zu entdecken, allein Mechanik und die Haare erst!

Freut mich, dass es Dir gefÀllt. Zerlegen war letztlich eine Notwendigkeit, weil die Datei als Ganzes in der Auflâsung einfach zu groß wÀre.

Perfectly done art drawings and also great article @reinhand-schmid

Thanks a lot! :-)

Wieder ein tolles Bild mit tollem Ramen :-D

Danke! Freut mich, dass es Dir gefΓ€llt :-)

:-DSehr!

Very beautiful! And beware of the nipples... :D :D

Hehe... some people see them as a threat it seems ;-)

Great moment where you use hair to accent cross at frame, and hair here is amazing. Did I mention the shoes? :)
This one is real masterpiece in all aspects @reinhard-schmid.

Superb drawing! I loved the textures, especially in the hair.

Thanks a lot!

It's good to read your article. Thanks for writing this article.

"Totally outraged a colleague" .... and I suspect you got a kick out of it. But you are discreet, you don't mention names.
I too have a "colleague" who is always offended by what I do, out of sheer principle, since he says I am on the dark side ......... good thing I don't have to deal with that troll anymore.

this is amazing! IΒ΄m in live with her hair, the colors are just wonderful!

Thank you :-)

I'm not sure how I missed this post? I have been having some odd things happen with steemit of late, like my icon photo is just gone?

But, aside from my mishaps, how lovely is this piece? It is very lovely! And again I am so enamored of your presentation: That frame with the working doors, how magical this must be in real life.

And of course, the shoes! When is your line of shoes coming out ;)
