A nod to Botticelli, but Currin's Venus, instead of embodying sublime beauty, is wall-eyed and anatomically incorrect.
Contorted hand gestures signal ambiguous messages. Why is she pointing at her left breast?
And this one here with the inverted peace sign. Is she throwing a gang sign? And, why is she leaning on a cane? You'd have to break a hip with that pose (see New Yorker, "Pixel Perfect," May 12, 2008 issue)
Pam Anderson?
Maude never looked hotter.
Jenny Saville's take on the odalisque archetype.
Francis Bacon's portraits capture faces in motion, usually screaming, and displaying the violence velocity has on form.
Motion distorted, twisting figures imprisoned with ambiguous architectural space.If all art is a reflection of society, what are these examples saying about humanity?
The faster we spin, the more distorted our sense of humanity. Time clips in the face of technology that is ever upgrading, ever expanding. Circuits burn around the clock, raising global temperatures every nano-unit towards overheating
How much space can you see ahead of you if life is perceived as a race toward oblivion?
