Lust, I can see it.

Not much I can say about any piece of art
except that I appreciate it.
**************
Trick of the light.
The black and red
the curves.

I think it was about a week before he killed himself he showed me that painting he did of his wife.

Weird thing is:
like a flip flop
that for a moment a blink of my eye
I see her in your abstract.

His painting was done all in reds and black, maybe that is it.
She was a devil in fish net stockings.

sorry about the ramble
thanks for the art.

I like to talk about art: I´m not a specialist so I can´t harm anyone (specifically) in the audience!!!!!

I like abstracts and the regular-irregular-black&red-toresque-lobster-lines in your image. And also the what the hell white have to do with it (thing)!!!

gracias!!!!!!!!

Lust by definition is the dominance of passion, seen as an intense unbridled sexual desire.

What better way to illustrate the dominance of passion than with a scene of domination.

The passionate red color dominating the painting, the woman in the painting being dominated by the passion of the act, and the act itself conquering or dominating the lust.

The Dichotomy of lust is that the lust itself, the dominance of passion, leads to acts that through their execution dominate the lust.

If you see lobster lines, well.... I don't want to go there. The white you refer to is actually silver, silver satin ribbons or restraints

I like it!

But.... The lines actually look to crisp to be a painting. Looks like digital art.

Very abstract. I don't see a woman in the painting.

i like this a lot. what is the size of this piece? the medium? the inspiration? the cost?

Post by **gmart** » April 30th, 2009, 5:30 pm

Oil on Canvas 36" x 24" the inspiration was for an exhibition on the Seven Deadly Sins. I'd sell it for $500

Doreen I think I see the curve of her back and her buttocks. But I am probably just a dirty old man. I used to have trouble with Rorschach tests. I never could understand why they kept showing me erotic pictures.

Thank you for posting your art gmart
I hope someone buys it. I would if I had the money.

And that's the truth.
