I have a hard time understanding the first one. What's your take on it? I don't see what it could represent.
I'm not an expert on these things, but when I look at it, I see the wolves singing to the moon, or whatever you call what they are doing, which to me means night as the moon has to be out. It's a bit of a paradox as the lady is naked and has a mask too, which at night counts less. Honestly, I think I have no clue 😁 However, i love your take on it. It's detailed and deep. I haven't thought of those things you're mentioning.
If you look at my profile, you can see I visit a number of exhibitions weekly and see all kinds of arts, from sculptures, textile and fiber art to paintings and photos. There's always a riddle to solve as I'm always trying to figure out what the artist meant. It's a fun game, but you never know if you're right or not.
You're starting to have an impact on me haha.
Oh boy!!! Another victim of mine? 😂 You're not the firs 😛
It's just that there's so much more to this work than meets the eye. As such, I'm not a fan of the composition visually speaking. It's not something I could display at home.
But the artist really had a message to get across here. As always, yes, but here I feel it was a stronger message.
To be honest, I think it's the first time since I was 10 years old that I've looked at a work this closely. And again, because when I was 10, I laughed in my teacher's face when she said that such and such a work meant this or that. But now I realize that it's not really what the artist wants to say that's interesting, but rather how we see things through our own prism.
Of course, it would be interesting if the artist could then explain what he really meant, but only after we've tried to guess.
That's exactly what I think. Usually at openings you can get an explanation from the artist, but I don't go to openings because there's a crowd and I like my experience to be untouched. When they tell you what you're going to see, you will no longer form your opinion, but go on with the artist view and I don't want that. After visiting the exhibition, yes, than it would be nice to know, but that never happens :)
