Artist's Comments

Over use of Diction Denotes Stupidity.

There once was this pretentiouse artist that built birdhouses out of garbage and white washed them. Then He's pack them full of little dolls and things and leave only a little hole to see the shit inside. As you neared the hole, straining to see, your head of course blocked out the light needed to see. I didn't know it was his and he asked me what i thought. I told him it was shit and why.

A month later he had a piece of trash hanging on a gallery wall called "Anticipation Denotes Intelligence" Now, the fact that a dog antcipates a bone and Oprah anticipated cheetoes not withstanding, this painting is my long overdue answer to his not so subtle chide.

Talk about putting effort and ingenuity into your come-back. Overuse of Diction Denotes Stupidity by ~Christoph-Wilke, is not only a compelling surrealist work, it's also a sharp, witty retort. (Suggested by ~porcelainveins and Featured by `oedalis)

words are limited. beyond words is true wisdom.

Haha! nice one, i only wish i actually knew the guy or saw the "Anticipation.." one, but its one hell of a biting response :laughing: I love the fact that he's tripping over his own tongue, so to speak.

Wonderfully offbeat and intense. I love the detailing and stylization of the figure. Creative anatomy and fine pose. Excellent concept and beautiful depth. Striking colors.
