Kinda creepy. In a good, surreal sort of way. Reminds me of book covres, particularly those drawn by the likes of Michael Whelan. Very cool. I like the brush of white on the horizon. . .something about that simple touch really brings a lot of cold life into the piece.

alzheimers meets anorexia, maybe, mystical and dystopic.

It reminds me of a country house I used to live in. All the memorys i had inside it, how empty it feels now, this painting to me, illustrates that house. That my two cents.

Your work is lovely and this is a very intriguing conceptually. I guess my only real criticism (and I recall mentioning this once before) is that your work is too obviously inspired by the art of Dali, Chirico and all the other usual suspects. Granted, it's impossible to create something wholly original but you need to step away from Dali-land; I think your art would benefit greatly.

I totally agree that Im too "Dali", Im working on it, my newer paintings are less Dali (not shown here on DA yet)
I got inspired by Gerard TerBorch(1617-1681) to paint some sort of "surreal chamber art" so different stuff is on its way but its hard to run away from the large shadow Dali casts over us "Surreal/symbolic/alchemistic/metaphysic " artists

I don't as many well thought out words as a couple other commenters, but this painting impresses me. Surreal is certainly the word for it. Makes you wonder what happens to lost memories... even just old ones... do they distort so strangely over time? Do they lose themselves, falling to a fate of death in our minds? Or is there really some dark place in the psyche for images such as this... changed with time, never the pristine picture that once was burned so vividly in the mind's eye.
I love how you created the image... the contrasts are very striking, yet not so opposing that they distract from the foreground image of the house. The building itself is created well in it's distorted state. Really awesome work.

(tenkte jeg skulle lage en surrealistisk kommentar ut av en annen kommentar. hΓ₯per det var greit. jeg brukte lengre tid pΓ₯ dette enn den personen som skrev kommentaren i utgangspunktet. jeg vet ikke om du ser hva utgangspunktet er... det er vel ikke sΓ₯ viktig, det som er viktig er at vi alle har...)

It seems as if somebody took this poor memory, wrapped it up and tied a string around it, and then dumped it in some abandoned field. Or maybe it simply got lost in the postal system.
The reddish lighting with the black in the background seems to be what makes this melancholy. It looks as if the sun is setting, the day is over, and so nobody will come out to find the memory and it's just stuck there forever.
The house itself is really well-painted. The perspective on it looks really good. It seems like an oldish house, one which would have seen many people come and go, but it is not ancient, and it still has many years of life ahead of it. It seems to be standing there proudly and nobly, ignoring the indignities of being abandoned and being distorted by the rope around its middle. I like the way that the lines sort of become wavey around the rope, as if the rope pulling around it is destroying not only its shape but something else as well.
The reddish colours in the upper part of the painting look a little odd, though. The light seems to be coming from fairly low down, and to the right, so having red so high looks a little odd. As well, the sun seems to be setting off to the left, though it is casting no light on anything.

I don't find it melancholic... it evokes to me a house on diet
