Art Shareπ¨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

This may sound stupid, but it is genuine. I have questions.
Is this your work? If not, disregard the rest of this comment.
I always hated those instances in school of udsving to speculate / interpret the meaning of a piece of art. I can appreciate beauty and humour, but something like this has me utterly stumped.
What does this painting mean? What does it intend to convey to the viewer? Why? How?
Not all paintings are intended to have a literal or even metaphorical meaning. Expressionism was one of the first styles to do this. You're not supposed to analyze or figure out deeper explanations of what it's supposed to tell. You're supposed to look at it and immediately feel what the artist wanted to express. It also doesn't have to be a pleasant feeling, just that you can observe something and it making you feel anything is an art form. If you come by something like that in a museum you should give it a little more time and instead of trying to understand what the picture shows, try to observe how it makes you feel when looking at it.
OPs piece is some form of abstract expressionsim. The craftsmanship can be analysed and we could talk about how the pattern is repeating but not perfectly, so it creates a sort of unrest. The blue background stands out from the red, so much that even if the red is smeared heavily on top, it's almost creating an illusion of the blue being on top. This also causes an unrested focus. This might not be pleasant, especially for someone with trypophoiba, but if you were to hang it on a wall, it would probably create a visually attractive vibration. Abstract art can often be used functionally like that to change the feeling of being in a room.
Is it good or is it bad? I don't know.. neither a phone screen or an art museum would be the right way to see this. It should be placed in a room that needs it for it to work best.
Oh good! I'll copy paste this and show my teacher 25 years ago...! π
No, but thank you.
