Title: Market Defaulted
By Harj
2003
Oil on canvas
My interpretation;
This is part of a pair the other is posted below titled Market Cooperation.
Following on from the last post both these paintings are two of my favourite and both hang in my study.
They have a significant meaning to me about human behaviour both are like opposites but meet to make a complete cycle.
I like to paint about things I read in this case Game theory, how prisoners dilemma can be destructive if a particular choice is made as life is all about choices.
Hope you like my painting Steemians and a big thank you to all of you!
With love

I know this is a wonderful post about your paintings, but your two photos ARE AMAZING!!!!!
Michaelasalcido that is very kind of you to say : ))) where are you from ?
hope you liked my lastest post : )
Took your invite & checked it out.
Prisoners dilemma..it's like another term for our consumer driven society .. your concepts are deep and based on the subject you chose I'm guessing you've had your taste of the circular world & this is your way of expressing the experience you had. Fill us in. ..lol..
Btw, beautuful smiles of you & your son.. time flies so fast - cherish every moment spent.
Regards to your lovely family!
Hey Reign
I try my best to describe the world as I see it. Conflict and war is the main feeling i get from this post but also getting choices wrong, making a error, also treating others badly all fall into this art painting destruction and waste.
my painting before this was the opposite of this all about peace and harmony and treating your fellow human as a individual with hopes and dreams and getting it right, thats how I see Hong Kong buiding of dreams and respect for each other.
thank you Reign we are for sure in the good choice list ! we know the power of respect.
really enjoy reading your posts : ) please tell me how you interpret the art painting ? and compared to its twin the one before this post, love to know !

Hi @harj
let me see...
the 2nd painting shows 2 entities synchronized..a pair aiming for the same goal - united. The strokes & colors..I'm guessing may represent having different mindsets, outside influences but still manage to stay unified despite of it.
This piece here shows them apart -trying to meet half way w/ their differences. One entity having hope & faith trying to mend what drew them apart.
There's definitely a story here but I can only interpret from what I can remember & what struck me first when I saw it.
I hope I made sense.. lol.. it's difficult to explain w/out the emotions being heard but let me know if by any chance I came close.
Reign,
I struck with how you have wonderfuly described the painting, its given me insight into my painting, this is a wonderful interpretion, i never thought of it like that but its very good. : )
that is very deep!
I really enjoyed your understanding : )
thank you
btw, when I said the 2nd painting I meant the other pair on your other blog..just to be sure we were on the same page.
lol.. like I mentioned I based my interpretation on what stuck to me when I first saw them..looking at a piece of art one can draw a lot of conclusions & I wouldn't want to take it that far.. lol.. simple is sometimes better - it leaves things uncomplicated.
It's heading 11pm at my side of the globe... time to sleep. It was nice talking to you.. night for now.
awww hope you had a good sleep! i hope you like my next post its comming soon!!! next few hours what is your next post Reign ? I will check!

Wow great.. :)
Yes! I do indeed like your art post. Thank you so much for sharing :) I love seeing other people’s creativity
Ps I know you will ask me how I interpreted your paintings.
To me personally, they show the light and the dark. Darkness and light are always connected as one can not be without the other. There’s hope and there is passion, which the red colour to me symbolises. No matter if your body is held in a prison, it’s your mind that builds the walls. As long as your heart and passion are still alive, any obstacles can be overcome. It only takes a glimmer (the yellow specs on the black surface), to penetrate the wounded soul and to rise once more from the ashes
