algroth Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 A thread to post art, discuss artists, share experiences related to plastic art and exhibitions, that sort of thing. I guess I'll start by posting some art, then. Here's some Giorgio de Chirico: My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden

Agiel Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Some of my paintings: And this one should surprise nobody I painted: 3 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

rjshae Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 During my lunch break at work I enjoy visiting the Blender Artists Community, particularly the Finished Project forum for the often gorgeous eye candy. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

algroth Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Antonio Berni I'm placing some of the art under spoilers for the inclusion of some material that could fall out of the forum guidelines. To this regard, I'd like to know from any moderator how nudity and violence in the realm of art are judged according to image guidelines since these aspects tend to be perceived differently in the context of painting and the likes. Of course I would reckon explicit depictions of sexual acts (e.g. the naughtier Hokusai illustrations) are a no-no regardless of context.
