oil on canvas, 300mmX300mm
'Applying' is one of the most degrading, demeaning and dehumanising universal constructs of 'civilisation'. In continuation with my earlier work, depicting an equally humiliating experience - waiting [link] Comments
 This is a perfect compliment to the painting you provided the link to, and I agree wholeheartedly. Waiting for a job interview is an excellent example of the optimism we're supposed to maintain, all the while admitting to ourselves that we're not as important as those we wait for.
I particularly loved the hopeful expression on the man's face. That was very well done! -- You ain't so bad your self. I see a resemblace of H.R. Giger as well as R.S Connett Peter S Sibrin  You have captured the expression oh humanity very well especially in the eyes.
-- annearty Sorry, I am not quite clear if you mean - expression of 'humanity' or 'humility'?
-- ckp discontent always [link] My Print Account Humanity. Sorry if i didn't make myself clear. Basically I am referring to the persons face and eyes which seems to reflect that of very real person who is being confronted with a very difficult situation. He looks real and not as some drawings I have seen over the years that look stiff and lifeless with no facial expression at all. I think it is a very life like depiction full of human expression.
-- annearty ah ok, now I get it!!Thanks for the compliments. By the way, how do you find the other one - waiting? I have posted the link to it in the description of this painting.Would be curious you know your reaction.Thanks.
-- ckp discontent always [link] My Print Account I went to your link but a lot of the pictures wont't load, it could be a problem with the server, but i will keep trying until I find it and then let you know what i think a.s.a.p.
-- annearty  Very nice! You very successfully caught a lot of various emotion in the facial expression. I see eagerness, humility, and exhaustion. Maybe even a little defiance? Disgust?
Yes, it is a blatant manifestation of power, or rather, power imbalance.You rebel with your every grain, know that the pawn, the joker who is going to decide the fate of your application may be corrupt, incompetent, may be competent and yet having a bad day...I mean the very predicament of being at the wrong side of the table is immoral, a scandal, in real sense.
You resent your own helplessness in being in this situation, and act servile, appeasing...and loathe the person opposite. I am glad that you discern all the shades in his face. Makes me really feel I did a good job in conveying the mix of emotions. Thank you for yet another fine reading. -- ckp discontent always [link] My Print Account |
