analyze these pictures

[lungs]

another thread i posted in another forum already but why not

it happens a lot where pictures really strike me and i don't know why and i get really curious to ask other people what they get out of the picture in terms of symbolism or vibe or whatever so i'm going to put some pictures here and maybe you guys might enjoy analyzing them. if people actually participate i'll probably do this again. and i will be very pleased.

just do whatever ones you want.

#1: The strongest theme I sense is blackmail. A person being figuratively gagged because the other has some dirt on them.

I dunno about the others.

1) A Public vs Private personality shot. The composition is well balanced
2) Strong intuition I guess? The person giving the flowers is able to see into you, because of an apparent flaw, and is wary yet trying- hence the flowers. The inability to trust since they 'see' too much. It's feels strung out and delicate. Schiele-esque.
3) That's just... kinda gross. The yellowing paper, the mud and red. It's not very approachable. I like how they stripped away the skin on the standing (?) one on the left and you can see the underlying construction. Not my favorite, but I do like the rib-cage

Hmmm the first one I see a bit of symbolism. The overall theme is the girl's conscience. The " little voice at the back of her head" tryig to stop her from doing something she'll regret.
The second one I don't know.
As for the third it reminds me of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (that is a tree in the background right?) after they had eaten from the tree of knowledge. Particularly the man looking down at his body. The ugliness surrounding the two to me seems to mean that they are no longer perfect. "Then the eyes of both of them opened and they began to see the were naked. Hence they proceeded to sew fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves."

Never mind me, I'm just setting up an Agent Intellect bait here. If we're all quiet as not to scare him away I'm sure he'll bite if he happens to stumble in "visual arts" murky waters as opposed to staying in his usual habitat up in the skies (faith and philosophy). Unfortunately, he is a creature of habit, so we need some help from miss fortune or lady luck if this is to succeed.

Those two women are attractive.

1. I am inclined to regard both women as one and the same person (I blame Photoshop), their eyebrows different though, but this is beside the point.
In the context of this picture, duality of 'self' equates to some internal conflict, that may indicate internal suppression(avoiding one's own thoughts) or difficulty, inability to relate some issues to external world, or maybe voicing them publicly is deemed to be unsafe, who knows. In both such cases I think underlying issue is self preservation, self protection. This leads to a rabbit hole of issues.

2. 3d eye..maybe it's about spirituality, insight. A flower seems to acquire the same set of eyes..it looks like an alien or a dog. Can the girl and the flower be aliens, though ones of the symbiotic kind, like cabbage head alien in man in black 2, but with enhanced IQ level and thriving spiritual side? If an artist were alien, would he named the picture 'The girl with a dog'?
On the second thoughts, this female looks like Angelina Jolie, although with narrower lower jaw.

3.I thought about it as a likely sequence to Hockney's painting ' They are perfectly safe, this is a still'

Brown parts and black dots look like a leopard spots to me.

On the other hand , female's torso seems to be extension of the beast, it might be about destructive, 'devouring' relationships.

TWO

Spoiler

I see:
o Two triangular lines, overlapped, in the middle of the chest
o Three nipples on each breast(flat breast)
o Roses with thorny stems
o Third eye
o Seductive eyes
o Short hair

The combination of small breasts and short hair could point to gender duality / androgyny; an occult symbol. The roses could be another point for duality, because of the stems' thorns.

The two triangular lines could be a unicursal hexagram, this would make even more sense if you consider the nearby rose. Aleister Crowley's unicursal hexagram had rose petals in the middle. This would be another occult symbol, the divine feminine.

The person has three nipples in a set instead of the human one, animals generally have more 'teats' than humans so the person could be an animal in human form.

The third eye already has a meaning, it represents higher consciousness / seeing through illusions / enhanced vision and insight.

The overall symbols could be love, divinity, or the occult. Then again it could just be a random assortment of illustrations. (btw, I have no idea why these images strike you(edit: oh, because they all have weird / abstract females.))

1. Arousing and now I am worried about a bondage fetish. But look at that shoulder.Oh...

2. Really annoying.

3. Someone drew something nasty and took a shit.

TWO: she sees more than others, but this is not necessarily a gift only. She is fragile, as if she cannot tell whether the things she sees drive her mad, or the madness drives the things she sees. Perhaps the roses she holds represent her grip on reality? She holds them carefully with two hands, the thorns seem to be emphasised as much as the form of the flower.

I've never done art interpretation before, it seems fun!

 

[introverted_thinker]

I'll just do the first one for now, I'm kinda tired. *yawn*

Anyhoo, the first thing I thought when seeing it was MPD....maybe I've been reading up on MK-Ultra too much, I dunno. Let's say the girl is an MK-Ultra victim, she has a split personality consisting of two alters. The one being silenced is the alter she shows in the everyday world- but someone has triggered the other alter. This alter is the one silencing the other- she is now the one being brought out. Perhaps this is a Beta-alter...her eyes look like they are filled with primitive instincts, just like the eyes of a Beta programmed Monarch slave.

^yeah, I don't know what I wrote. Is this testing our Ti-Ne?

 

[Da Blob]

All can be seen as aspects of hemifacial approach/withdrawal orientations. (See Ekman et alia)

One person, in #1, withdrawing from image #3, approaching from image #2

 

[RedN]

#1: shhhhhhh dont say a word... look like lovers, and its very possible shes kissing that hand on that shot too

#2: a 'different' girl looking for love and acceptance, trying to offer herself - her good stuff along with the bad all bundled up

#3: raw human nature, worldy and often viewed as dirty side of humans being exchanged by these 2. relectance present on the left one, assurance being offerend by the right. 'its ok dont worry' those words come out so easily

im not an art person so im just giving wild guesses ok.....

 

[Pizzabeak]

1. Someone that pisses or pissed off the girl who has her mouth covered is in sight, and the second girl wants to calm her down or prevent her from starting a fight of sorts. Girl with her mouth covered is trying to control herself. If they are the same person, the photo perhaps is about self control, like "I still see you, but I'm not going to say anything."

2. Some freestyle sketch someone started to draw in class or something. You have three eyes, the third being the pineal gland. Also, everything is alive because the flowers also have eyes. This dude is giving flowers to someone and they represent love and stuff, like their love is still alive and stuff.

ONE is the most interesting in my book, it has the most visual advantage with it's high contrast and attractive human forms (people tend to look at people after all).

My automatic response is more emotional than anything else, the peeking girl causes curiosity and the girl holding her face looks thoughtful which is somewhat intriguing. I wonder what's going on there, since the picture maybe technically dark but it lacks any sort of dark feeling to it. It looks as if they have a secret or an inside joke that we're not in on.

I agree with Da Blob about image one it does seem to have some aspect of withdraw, that's part of why i think something private is going on.
