Terrifying

[poliphilo]

 I'd never shown my watercolours before.

One of my friends called them "terrifying"

Another said, "I see the inside of your head is even stranger than I thought."

No-one else said anything.

1. Sabbat



2. Transformation



3. If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him



4. In Hiding

2. Transformation

I really love this one. It makes me think of this spell (video not necessarily relevant: I heard the song first).

[poliphilo]

Absolutely!

Love the song, love the vid!

[sovay]

Love the song, love the vid!

I'm so glad!

I would say visceral or primal rather than terrifying. They remind me of cave art. I think "In Hiding" is my favorite. I would love to see more if you feel like sharing them.

"visceral" "primal". Yes, I like those adjectives.

I may share more. I have posted examples in the past- but none recently.

A lot depends on how widely your audience has studied art. I'm not an art scholar per se, but I'm into anthropology and archaeology, history, marginal groups, trains as rolling public art galleries -- I've seen a huge variety of art. Yours reminds me of many different things, but it doesn't closely match what is currently popular. Frida Kahlo is a great example of another visceral artist.

Those are very different and 'alive'. Your art dances across the paper. Thanks for sharing!

[poliphilo]

Many thanks. I haven't done any for a good long while but perhaps I should.....

Thanks for sharing, nicely imaginative. Sabbat's probably my favorite.

[poliphilo]

It's the earliest. What gives it away is that it's more heavily worked, a little less free form than the others.
