Silence of the Lambs popped into my mind as well as bringing a smile on my face. Scary and comical at the same time. A rather unusual combination although it was probably not your intention and merely how I read it myself-
The lollipop was a nice touch.
Quality of the technique itself shines out as usual.
Phew... silence of the lambs? Didn't think my self portrait would be that scary 😉 Wonder if its the biker appearance or the "bug"... but in the end I'm rather harmless, as everybody can see 🤡
No offence lol - It was the moth that first caught my attention. I visited a friend of mine on Sunday and we watched that scary film. He had never seen it and we ended up watching it on Netflix. I suppose it was on my my mind.
I know you are more of a butterfly really : )
:-) no offense taken... interestingly enough, "scary" has been used several times and I was totally unaware, that my painting might have that effect.
In a way it proves what I always thought. To a piece of art, there is more than just creating it. The moment it is shown, and someone else is looking at it, an "exchange" happens and the viewer sort of compares or measures what he/she sees by their own experiences. A lot of people find insects yucky, so, maybe my happy bug gives them the willies.. even if I had a different interpretation in mind...
I agree, the same thing has happened with my own work several times. People had read into them things I never intended or even thought of.
But hey that´s fine with me. At least it had a reaction.
The British artist Frances Bacon once said that the worst thing that could happen would be if someone had NO reaction to his work.
Agree completely! :-)
