Description
Celebration of chaos, visually, mentally, and in so many other ways.Just wait till you see the others...
Masks... can be used to hide behind, but they often reveal so much more.
Acrylic
part of a 3 panel work on paper. I dont know when I'll get the other 2 sections as far as this one - which still might be a work in progress. But I couldnt resist sharing it at this point.
Also the name of the group I helped start ~Chaos-Revellers

I love this very cool, reminds me of the masked women in a Tiziano Ferro's music video for "Stop! Dimentica"

This is so wonderful. It has a dark feel about to me even though it isn't overtly dark, if that makes any sense.

zyphryus In reply to LawrenceDeDark [2007-01-03 06:19:35 +0000 UTC]
totally makes sense, and I tend to strive for that in my work - that slight dark.
Although, I also want to do more INTENSE horror work at some point, i tend to like being on the edge, like having one foot in daytime, and the other in night.
(we need an actual night moon icon...!)

Looks like Sarah has infected you with her recent-indulged passion for masks. (heh) I like the contrast of colors here, and you've gotten a lot of texture into the image. Very nicely done.

zyphryus In reply to danceafterdark [2006-06-01 21:46:57 +0000 UTC]
well, i dont think this is a recent infection, or from her to begin with, but i am definitely infected, and the book she made me read rekindled that flame.
this particular masking is a revival of my alizarin beasts

Very nice. I love this kind of mask. Reminds me of Heironymous Bosch's artwork.

descriptive preview: the piece you see now is the lone reveller looking back at all the OTHERS in the two panels to the left... most of them madmen, weirdos and ... dangerous people. oooohhhh. hehehe

looking forward to the other parts, the mask immediately reminded me of something from beetlejuice ha, when they pull their faces in all different directions

Oh yeah! I didnt think about that, but perhaps somewhere deep in my brain I was pulling from that as well. I used to watch that ALL THE TIME.

also I am thinking of another colaberation. I am going to send you a collage and I want you to paint or draw on it.
and perhaps you can send me something for me to add another layer too. and we could keep sending it perhaps perhaps perhaps or i could be listening to the weird remidial french speaking spiders too much.
they say bonjour and merd.

Gorgeous, bold, and expressive. The prominence of the mask and the wild background support your theme well.
