"Muse of My Life"

A surreal self portrait that acknowledges the need to take control over artistic expression and direction in life. It showcases a modern Arabian inspired 'dollhouse' and uses inverted colors for the portrait.

I struggled with redirecting my art to a different kind of style to express myself more authentically which made me take my art journey a lot more seriously. I embraced the directionless journey I found myself stranded on and decided to take control over the steering wheel. All of this had inspired the outcome of this painting.

I hope you enjoy this painting🤎🌷

CANNIBALS (2005) by ODD NERDRUM

The cannibalism in CANNIBALS involves three living individuals consuming the flesh of a dead individual. They consume raw meat from the bones, and their victim's organs are scattered nearby. Their victim's dismembered body is laid out beside them, with only the head remaining intact atop a bloodstained spine and rib cage.

This work employs a highly un-modernized version of the traditional iconography of good versus evil. Each cannibal is characterized by a form of ugliness that is associated with evil: from the left to the right, they are referred to as cripples, madmen, and mongoloids.

NERDRUM'S depiction of these creatures demonstrates that their level of savagery is unsurpassed. They do not hesitate to squat on the ground which appears to be stained with blood. They devour their victim, leaving the head of the victim untouched to witness their own consumption.

On the other hand, the victim has the calm and collected look of a defeated SIEGFRIED, unmoved by his humiliation, still clinging to his unwavering, if misguided, belief in the JUSTICE OF THE UNIVERSE.

This isn't a story about humanity needing to be saved, it's a story about humanity being broken. It's a story about a place where evil is so bad that there's no way out but to die. It's an evil that's been co-opted by a bad metaphysics.
