A painting about fanaticisms that went wrong

in #art8 years ago (edited)

I did this painting/drawing last year. I had this idea about how there really is no difference between various fanaticisms. There are many paths that people blindly follows: ideologies, worships, religions, beliefs. Generally, those are things that help people to live, so I've nothing to say about any of them. What I would show, in a painting, is a point of view that put all fanaticisms together to say precisely that there are no differences between them.

So I did this painting. Not the kind of painting I'm used to make, really. In fact I don't like it: I think I have not the ability to say such a thing by art, not yet. I don't even believe art is the right means to say something like that.

Anyway, translating the captions from italian, from left to right: Self worshippers, Power w., Science w., Ideologies w., Appearence w., Animals w., Sex w., Magic w. Tradition w., Nature w., Wealth w., God w.

And that's about it.
