Description
*sorry for all the long posts lately, I'm normally not this activeI finally got a camera from a friend to take some pictures of my paintings. This has been done since July and I'm barely documenting them now D;
Suicide is actually a set of two demons with masks. This variation on Suicide is not the common idea of just killing yourself to end your life. This is a *social* suicide...an act of killing your *self* in order to be accepted by others.
In this scene the person is in a wrapped cocoon-like skin and getting transformed into a lifeless drone. One demon puts a mask on it (similar to their own, as means of conformity), while the big one licks its gashes. The spectators on the top are all here to cheer and celebrate this "killing". One cuts his wrists and gives blood to the concept (with an evil bird having a drink ;] . The other is relieving himself. The next one is offering money like a person would to a cheering stripper....note: he’s actually an advanced-grown form of one of the abortion bear/bug babies’ lol, being a parasite in hell :>
And last but not least Sin, on the end there, happy to be a part of this lovely killing of one's soul.
Painting-wise, you might notice some colors being mixed into my grays...I've been slowly trying to incorporate purple, greens, and blue-grays to accent things like tongues and flesh and different skins. Kind of like that pink "Joe" painting, but not so harsh and saturated. My newer paintings go even a little farther on the colored grays than this one does.
Painted with Acrylic on canvas. 8ft tall.

I absolutely love these! The concept of demonic manifestations of every sin in the form of a repulsive grotesque monstrosity is definitely up my alley. and I especially love the symbolism behind them! This one particularly is really bleak and disturbing, and i love every bit of it finally, i want to mention that i also adore the chaotic essence in your version of hell, not only do the demons prey on the very suffering of humans, but they prey on their own kind as well. exactly as it should be!

Show this to kids/teenagers, and they'll never do suicide again.
Speaking of which, since suicide rates are so high around Christmas, you think this section of Hell puts up a Christmas theme while doing this?

O_o" Wow...I thought suicide would be people hanging off by a rope swaying on a tree branch made out of human flesh covering bones with veins popping out on the skin. But your painting shows a good way showing how it is and symbolize more about suicide. x_x

Np ^w^ Well,its called being original,I know some people would use a tree and a person hanging there by a branch in most theories but with you,yours represents the change in this time. Also,you do have that guy,chick,thing hanging upside down so it represents to hanging and other symbolism here and there. Sooooo good job anyway ^w^

I see the one giving his blood is wearing an old journalism hat, is that a way of saying that the media encourages the destruction of the self while essentially destroying itself?

Hey Ms. Gonzales.
I recently finished reading Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto Death and came across the following:
...By seeing the multitude of people around it, by being busied with all sorts of wordly affairs, by being wise to the ways of the world, such a person forgets himself, in a divine sense forgets his own name, dares not believe in himself, finds being himself too risky, finds it much easier and safer to be like the others, to become a copy, a number, along with the crowd.
Now this form of despair goes practically unnoticed in the world. Precisely by losing himself in this way, such a person gains all that is required for a flawless performance in everyday life, yes, for making a great success out of life. Here there is no dragging of the feet, no difficulty with his self and its infinitizing, he is ground as smooth as a pebble, as exchangeable as a coin of the realm. Far from anyone thinking him to be in despair, he is just what a human being ought to be. Naturally the world has generally no understanding of what is truly horrifying...
In short, an Absurdist view on sui-cide. Literally translated: 'self murder.' Kierkegaard makes that specification further on in the same book when talking about the physical act of suicide being, in its own way, equal to spiritual suicide.
Given our lengthy discussions previously on this picture, I figured it worthwhile to post this as a direct example of Absurdist views on suicide and the self.

Wow that's a great quote. It's like what I was trying to depict in the painting but written is a much more clear way! XD Thanks for this bit of writing I think I should find The Sickness unto Death. I love reading a good philosophy writing anytime! It’s interesting his use of suicide being associated with despair though...I think it’s more like a desire for attention and acceptance. Because there are plenty of people who fit the "self-murder" definition and convince themselves it’s the right thing to do. So they are not in despair, but more like in a state of delusion.

Ah! But, Kierkegaard has a two-fold use of despair you see. Despairing "over" and "in" oneself. In the one, a person despairs that they cannot be themselves and are forced to conform to the world around them. In the other, a person despairs that they are not the person they wish they were and, instead, comfort themselves by rationalizing or explaining away their defects and ignoring themselves.
Kierkegaard's use of despair here is more than just the standard "I feel sad inside!" Really, he comes close to sounding very 'emo' by our standards today, but is quite interesting. He was always fascinated in the paradox, dialectics (thesis + antithesis = synthesis), and the self. So, while he comes across as always in a really blue funk... He comes away with an incredible comprehension of the ironic and, thus, the humorous. Dark humor, of course.
If you do get a chance to pick this book up, I highly recommend it.

Very cool, I think this is going to make for good info when I post my just finished painting called "Anxiety and Despair Give Sin a Cookie". It’s definitely got some of that "in" oneself definition. I gotta pick up the book for sure Also (lol, "emo" Kierkegaard made a hilarious image in my mind).

Ooh! Well, at least we have the title of the next posting.
Also, what can I say? The guy used the word melancholy when describing himself. A lot. Today, that'd be associatd with "emo." Heck, Wikipedia attributes early modern concepts of angst to his writings. But, in the 'fear' and 'anxiety' meanings.
Besides, just LOOK at that face ==> [link]
Tell me you don't at least see some of the pasty-faced whiner in that. Why? What'd you think of?
Seriously, though, I love the dude.

There are people who would rather have fake friends then have no friends at all. So they "kill" themselves (the real person that they are) and act a different way to make sure the fake friends like them. hope that makes some sense haha

this is deep. I never see suicide this way before. Don't "kill" youself to be accepted by other. you are living lie if you do
