no tendency to insult anyone, anything at all. hopefully, it'll be a place for me to learn how to write good stuff. a place for warming our skull, a preparation to built an expressway to ours someday. really looking forward to a nice conversation, sharing thoughts, interests, and also a new friend..



ok, let's look at that image very carefully. first time i found it on a search engine, i knew straight away, it's one of Jenny Saville's piece. yes, it also reminds me of Holy Bible. second thought was "holy sh*t, what a brushstrokes". then i used it as a background wallpaper for my phone, and also a profile picture for my YM.

days gone by.. and one day, a friend sent me a link , BBC news, about how people in supermarkets decided to wrap the cd, with the inappropriate, sadistic, disturbing cover image as the consideration.
..

well,, it does look like a girl who just hit by a train. but somehow, i didn't realized it at the first time. that guy who sent me the news said that he thinks that it looks like child abuse, and had mixed feelings about that painting. well, in my most objective thoughts,
maybe it's the idea of bringing a piece of art
(in this case = painting, and not classified as public art) that should be hung in the gallery ;a legit institution to appreciate the work of art;

to the supermarkets and record stores that disturbs most of the folks.
anyway, i still see it as a piece of work. not a disturbing somekind-of-porn that should be wrapped up. what do you think?

Art is overrated cos of those 'artsy' pricks. Maybe that's why they bring it to the supermarket (eventho it wrapped like a porn magz). Huhuhu..

Mine goes to child abuse. Mmm.. maybe because the lips. Somehow it looks like inner bleeding to me.

agree, art is overrated sometimes. but how about media. they are also overrated. remember anjasmara and isabel jahja case, the cp biennale. that installation was showed in a gallery, not in public space. yet, the media blew it up and made it looked like porn.

maybe manic didn't think about the effect of their different perspective about the image. if you look at the image closely, you could see the brushstrokes and how beautiful and skillful it is. so i'm pretty sure that this one, is a real piece of art.

Hahaha.. kasus itu absurd jg tuh. Namanya juga media hiburan, yg heboh itu makin laku.

Covernya emang keren, dan kalo ditutupin krn alasan trik maketing bair org2 pd penasaran dan beli, gak juga sih. Karena gue sndr gak mau beli 'kucing dlm karung'. Kecuali emang manic-fans
