thats true art

when art in any form (music and etc) is very expressive: in which it can speaks thousands of words , thats what makes an art a true art !

here is 29 paintings that are very clever and expressive : that say whats wrong with the world today, enjoy!
http://news.distractify.com/culture/satirical-paintings/?v=1

thought-provoking images that make audience question their everyday lives. artists subjects deal with everything from social media to politics to poverty, and all have a very distinct message if you look closely enough...

Thank you for sharing these provocative and cynic vignettes, Kudo. I loved the sharp take on Facebook.

Ps.:I am in bed with an unseasonal case of Influenza, and brain dead as I am, I still enjoyed them.

Very nice Kudo!

All very strong paintings. There is a lot of "saying power" in evey one image.

@ Giacomo, get well soon !

Art must convey.
This artist must be connected to the world he lives in.

Good stuff!

So nice of you, Gerundino and Kudo, thank you. Influenza takes about a week, doesn't it? I'll sweat it out.

And, Kudo, I shared the Facebook image on.... Facebook. Well done.

I'm a fan of these paintings. I think the one that really hit me the most was that butcher petting the cat whilst all the other farm animals were watching and waiting to be slaughtered eventually.

Nothing says "hey, you don't have all the time in the world"
like a clock digging a grave.

That one got me good.

Reminds me of a line from Stephen King's Shawshank Redemption.

"Get to livin', or get to dyin'" If you have something to do, or say, do it
today. Don't wait. Tomorrow is not promised.

True that and now that you got me thinking, the clock digging a grave is extremely profound even more so than the other paintings as it goes back to the root which is all biological organisms are doomed to end up as worm-food. As you point out in your above post, its just a matter of time.

Genius painting IMO as it speaks in volumes in regards to the human condition. Being aware of the unavoidable.

Thanks for sharing these paintings Kudo.

There will likely be escape of biological limits by the psyche, with some people at the body´s end swapping their neural base against an artifical bearing.
- And they will probably even dispose of sensational impulses.
Possibly kindly asking you to push their orgasm button while you are passing by.

Just sayin´.

I feel like if I had any painting skills it wouldn't be so hard.
How 'bout one where crap is pouring out of a TV screen and people with skulls open exposing no brain are shoving the crap into their mouths.
I'll name it.
"People mindlessly eat the s*** that spews out of their television."
It could be a radio too I guess....

Here's another one, an enormous record executive in a suite with wads of cash in his hand taking a big dump on people playing instruments who are emaciated.

The first one alludes to videos made by jeehad berserks who like to cut off heads before cameras.
Here possibly translating like:"We will be playing terrible music if you won´t donate."

The second one seems to indicates a piano concert wired per transmission lines which serve as piano strings in the same time.
