In this painting, the conjoined twin midget in the sombrero acts as a thinly veiled metaphor for the Protestant movement having come in and crapped worms all over the fish in the litterbox (which is quite obviously representative of the Catholic church)

The coffin hanging from the noose is symbolic of Baby Jesus weeping.

#20 portable wig :

Boy do I disagree with addiosix! I think this obviously is a metaphor for the artworld, artist & viewers. The man uses a muse (aka twin) to express the colorful inner life he experiences (pretty hat). This muse facilitates his expression of inner turmoil (worms) to the world via art (the lovely painting itself). The viewer is the fish who greedily devours the mans art & smugly interprets it for his own use. The artist stares you head on and dares you to interpret your way into your own coffin.

I think this is on the cover of an Algebra text book, and the “artist” doodled it during class with marker. Then when he got expelled for not paying attention, and, it can only be assumed, his “rebel” attire, he glued the other stuff on.

I’ve seen worse doodled on textbooks in my day. It’s just a phase he’s going through.

Hey #11, being an art student I actually get what your saying, but what does the flaming hat the twin is wearing represent? Is he perhaps of a spanish, mexican, or south american decent? What bearing does this have on the painting on a whole?

And is it just me or does it look like the first twin is giving his brother a reason to be happy (wink, wink, nudge nudge, say no more.. say no more)?

I actually really like these. The textures, colors, shapes, and lines are beautiful. The subject matter is striking and surreal, reminiscent of Day of the Dead meets Frida Kahlo. If I had an extra hundred or so bucks, I would buy one of the paintings in his shop that does not involve worm-farts and implied incest between conjoined twins.

Maybe the one with the rooster smoking a cigarette and the fish dangling from a rope.

I actually kinda like where #20 (portable wig) was going with the pretty hat theory.

Perhaps it is collective memory instead of individual memory. Thinking about this in the light of a Jungian style collective unconscious, the 6 pink feathers could quite easily be representative of the 6 wives of Henry VIII.

Perhaps the artist is simply putting out strange art with no real clear meaning, except what the viewer puts to it. That way no one is offended, and someone out there will assign it a meaning which makes them love the art.
Or they’re just a pretentious ass, and I can’t get the meaning of any of these

Oh totally. I think you’re spot on ;) save for I don’t think even that much thought was put into it. When one chooses to paint some conjoined twin crapping ass worms into a fish mouth —

it automatically gets filed into the category of that ’special’ kind of art. Spleen trophy artwork.

The term outsider art was coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut (French: [aʁ bʁyt], “raw art” or “rough art”), a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture; Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane-asylum inmates. – Wikipedia

wow, pretty snarky. i think its a great narrative piece, as are his other works, a bit illustrative, but none the less falls into a category of art, and doesn’t’ deserve to be among the other crap featured on regretsy, which is generally right on. btw, outsider art is no longer limited to the art of the “insane” but encompasses a larger genre of “uneducated” or “self-taught” artists and often time includes folk art. there are several museums across the nation devoted to outsider art.

As an advocate of the Butt Worm Aesthetic, I feel that the disjunctive perturbation of the sexual signifier contextualize the eloquence of this piece. With regard to the issue of content, the aura of the biomorphic forms seems very disturbing in light of the remarkable handling of light. I’m surprised that no one’s mentioned yet that the iconicity of the figurative-narrative line-space matrix brings within the realm of discourse the distinctive formal juxtapositions.

In the context of art therapy: Art Therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. Using imagery, colour, and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings may be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate.

Well this would be hard to express or articulate properly, no? ;P But I still don’t understand the artist’s motivation for the subject matter.
