this particular piece was a collaboration commissioned piece..my client could not render visually what he had in mind so after a few weeks of brainstorming we were successful at getting his idea on canvas..
during and even after making this piece i had a hard time getting what my collaborator was getting at but after some thought i got it!
(this piece represents a well liked figure who can gain the approval of a large amount of people..he is trustworthy and can do no wrong..(notice the halos)
viewing the work from left to right...
u see the man giving a speech..he says
"uso i partiti come i taxi"
which means "i use you like i use a taxi.."
(he gets in..gets what he needs..gets where he needs to go ...and gets out..)
as you move left the center figure is a flicker of his true personality..
he is a brooding.. conspiring character who has some dastardly schemes up his sleeve..
it is now obvious that this mans agenda is not in the best interest of his followers..
...to the right ..
he continues with his speech..
which is a quote from yeats THE SECOND COMING...
"...what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
a reference to the path that lies ahead..
if people continue to follow the main character..
total destruction!)
