BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC WORK ALEXANDER. NOT SURE OF YOUR CONCEPT. WHO IS IT ONE WITH THE 'LONG" NOSE???
Artist Reply: The "one with the long nose" is all of us, humans! We are allow to full our self by many things, and don't see anything right in a front of our nose! That is why the name of this painting is "Classified Stupidity"! "“Classified Stupidity”, oil on canvas 168cm x 117cm
“First of all the composition, color are absolutely great!
Background in medieval period that connects the background to
the foreground in which the painting tells the story. The ruins of the
past acts like a strong reminder of past history in which we seem to
have forgotten what happened. The deep see fish with its bio light
(sorry, forgot the name of this fish I did see it in the New York
aquarium) looks frighten that seems to echo's in the monkey like human
being with a wondering expression of fear and madness. The money coming
down above his head seem to indicate greed that most of us are all
about. Yet we are the clowns and the lairs of our won good will that
seems to represent the clown’s long nose and directed by the monkey as a
marionette by those in charge the king monkeys of the
world. The night, in the Armour reminds me of the, “The Presentation of
Gift" with the same or close philosophy. The frogs are a humorous
addition to the composition. The three mask are very interesting
and seem to represent youth, middle age and old age. Love the way you
painted the floor and the few steps to create depth to the composition.
The bottom of the painting is just excellent in variations that brings
you back into the picture plain. The overall detail is just absolutely
excellent and seems that cosiness comes in conflict with itself as
evident in the whole picture. I be franked honest with you it is
excellent!!! Love it my friend!”
