Here’s a sketch that I
recently drew on a more somber day…
Sadness can be an
extremely destructive emotion, almost as if an addictive debilitating
drug feeding on a self perpetuating spiral of despair and
helplessness...when in a depressive form, it can bring one to total
catatonic failure...overwhelmed by emptiness and unable to see or make
sense of anything or anyone..
It is refreshing then that
as this emotion has such a huge strength, it can become almost
overpowering when portrayed in art. Take this fantastic piece from
Seo Yeong Deok made up from bicycle chain...
or this wonderful piece by
Michael Magrath which is made from from salt stone and is designed to
degrade in time, making it every day that little bit more hopeless....
........they both reek of the hollow
shell that is a man in the throws of the empty lonely darkness.
