Description named after the last two minutes of interpol song by the same name. the music is the most wonderful expression of existentialist acceptance of the futility of our actions and the realization of a fatalistic reality. the painting is the same. acceptance of the chaos of the world, however painful and unexpected it might be.... it is the way it is, and the only option we have is to roll with the punches or die. hope shines eternal, but its a purity we can never touch fully; we are lashed to the world we know.

oil on canvas. 30x36. painted with fingers and hands, brush only used for gesso purposes.

Very expressive. I enjoy the progression from light to dark.

I like it a lot. It has the feeling of sinking down to the bottom of the ocean.

Wow, beautiful, and pleasant to the eyes. I like flow from bottom right to top/top left/top middle. you have darkness, man in the darkness, then the chaos of the world, then, the eyes of the world, looking over man, and the chaos. Not even in a god sense, but in a perspective of say, the planet? Nature? I really like this Max. This is fo sho, gettin a +fav.

I defintely love the background and the energy. I am envious of this painting with hands. Such a great way to interact with a medium. I am going to have to find a way to intertwine sculpture and painting I think...
The only criticism I have is in regard to the structure of the face. It looks slightly off.
however the way it blends into the shadow is awesome. And I also love the two light sources in the background.
yes..yes..
It also works well with your concept.
thoughts of living in bad faith now appear..
