Matt Foleyさんのイラストまとめ

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."

"When I am dead, let it be said of me: He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any regime except the regime of liberty." — Courbet

"Belonging" is a prison of constraints and dictates that has no place in the realm of #art.
— MAFO

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.

oh, the freely wandering mind
is a truly wonderful thing;
to let the imagination meander,
release creativity to sing.
there are
exotic and mythic states to find
(a reward of mental traveling)
and treasures to fill the cranial cathedral
with marvels fit for any king.

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.
This piece has an inherent purpose: to elicit a response from you when the question is posed - what do you see and what does that mean?

Together in our differences, united, we become the big picture. It is wide-ranging variegation that makes the whole ever more interesting. Embrace the diversity of existence. Revel in the variety. Being "us" does not diminish the "each".
A lesson to be had from encountering #Art.

What is the meaning of #art?
It's a path to better understanding the splendor of that which is beyond the yawn: which is the droll, the mundane, the vapid.
It's the realization of vast provinces in a human mind, scintillating kingdoms of myths and magic not to be found elsewhere.
