Artist of the week - Jonathan Hobin

in steemit •  7 years ago 

A controversial Artist in his country in Canada.
Some say Jonathan goes too far by making children the subject of his art.
My opinion is that children eventually grow up and have adult problems.
And if they don't learn from their parents mistakes, they are bound to repeat the same mistakes.

What are your thoughts / perspectives on these images.

Come back next week for more interesting artists who push the envelope to make us think and challenge our perspectives.

These photos are somehow fascinating, even though may be considered horryfying in a way. I like them~ thanks for sharing.

very well put thanks for stopping by ;)

I need to think more about these works, and that is good.

That's what art is for Thanks for your input well appreciated

The children seem happy and that is enough of a judgement I think. A scientific controversy that has actually been puzzling me for a while is that as we learn, the more some neural pathways are strengthened and the more others die so that we have much fewer connecting neurons in the brain than children. So, children can actually have more neural synchronicity than adults with their learned rules. But then, the purpose of observing rule is to live more fully not less. So, as adults, should we maybe unlearn what we have learned?

yea the children actually had a good time on the set before and after the shoot also. And very well said

Nice post my friend 👌

Upvote and follow. Back

Strong work!

This is one of my pieces...

The kids were probably happy to be role playing. Better to dress up and learn some history. Boys already role play soldiers. Maybe they'll become social activists.

wow this is epic! The only wrong thing that children learn in school and what causes problems if they grow up, is that planes and Osama did this. But it's a fact that no plane ever hit WTC, WTC 7, Pentagon and Shanksville. And no, I burned all aluminum hats I had found in my house :)

A very powerful statement @tokaya
