Matt Foleyさんのイラストまとめ

The mysterious is so exciting. What are the colors of thoughts? How does time look as it flows and eddies? How do actions look pictured?
Let out the clutch. Engage the mind. Embrace the adventure.
One thing about the ongoing majesty of life is: there are no do-overs.
― Matt Foley

“Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and #art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself.”
― Daisaku Ikeda: poet, philosopher, educator, author

Art is realization

The artist, Marcel Duchamp said, “The creative act is not performed by the #artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act."

No solo tango?

"So, you are an artist, MAFO. Do you paint?"
"Yes"
"Sculpt?"
"Yes"
"What else?"
"Oh, I'm a ceramicist, printmaker, metalsmith (gold and silver), lapidary, scrimshander, glassblower, and more."
"You would've made da Vinci jealous."
"Perhaps so but we'd have gotten along famously."

Fantasy of urban overlays in runic terms; the mysterious paths of human development; egress and ingress in definable visuality; patterns of potential progress; courses leading to destinations previously uncharted; regions where elements intersect. #Art.

in the soup of #creation
there is a certain elation
as writhing forms dance
with color, no mere chance.
here, caught in the act
far more fiction than fact.

"Do you think this is the kind of stuff going on in his brain?"
"If so, perhaps some institutionalized therapy might help."

The world can be such a cruel place. After thousands of years of recorded history, one would suppose that we would learn important lessons such as how to get along.
Learn from #art. Colors exist side by side to create a big picture.
Why can't humans do similarly?
You know we can.

Making art will never win the artist an #Oscar for Best Hairstyle or Makeup. Nor will artwork win for Best Musical Score - though a work of art may have inspired such an occurrence.
No, all the hoopla and glamour is in the work of #art, itself.
The drama, the comedy, the romance.

A visual #artist communicates through imagery. As someone once said: a picture is worth a thousand words.
Maybe more.
