The fact that it's done as a triptych, and it's not divided into three acts or scenes really highlights the concept of form over function that the right so dearly holds.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 89 points 2 weeks ago

I came here to comment on this exact thing. Not only is it a bad painting, but the bad art aspect transcends the painting itself, even to the execution as a triptych. Every aspect of this is terrible.

[-] EldritchFeminity 39 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that it also kinda follows the rule of thirds makes it even more bizarre. They took the character of interest (Trump) and split him in half between the two panels, but left the cock and balls at another point of tension, implying some sort of sexual tension between the figures?

As they say, it buggers belief.

what buggers belief is that you were able to look at it long enough for that level of critique. brava.

edit: there are some weird, linear intersections and balance-counterbalances that keep drawing the eye here-there-and-everywhere, but i can't seem to figure out the point of any of it. neither could the artist, it seems. it's dizzying to look at.

Hehe buggers belief ;)

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was "beggars belief"?

[-] ech@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

You'd bugger Belief too if you saw 'em.

The one upside I see is that you can swap out the middle and right thirds as needed to change the good and bad politicians when Oceania changes to always have been at war with Eastasia.

I think it's just because that particular Joan Fabrics didn't have a single canvas that was big enough on the Wednesday afternoon that the artist's clinical manic episode compelled her to produce this.

You know they only shop at hobby lobby and only it at chickfillet.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

they are so bad at every form of art it's unbelievable

[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Literally the first thing I thought after parsing out the really cartoonish image was “why is this a triptych and not just on a single canvas?” Of course the answer is “because conservatives.” What a weird waste of time and money. Also I don’t personally want to know who these ghouls are but it might be good for society to know who these nasty little goblins are in case they enter Starbucks or the local Wage Theft Establishment.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

The artist could put more time into their life drawing skill too.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 87 points 2 weeks ago

what the fuck is wrong with these people

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

They're weird.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 68 points 2 weeks ago

Is this supposed to imply that Biden and Harris are Adam and Eve?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn't read into it too much. Your efforts won't be rewarded.

You are putting far more thought in the presence of far more knowledge of the Bible than the artist has.

We truly live in the parks and rec timeline

[-] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Parks and Rec and The Simpsons are just pan-dimensional humanity from the far future trying to communicate with us Interstellar-style

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Honest to God thought it was a parks and rec screenshot before I actually looked at the painting.

The Bible? Fuck it

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

Someone please explain to me why a bacchinalia with drag queens, and LGBTQ people is blasphmous to the point of ruining the Olympics, but this bullshit painting isn’t blasphemous at all.

[-] portuga@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

What’s that painting even trying to depict?

[-] pingveno@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

An angel of God expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, but with Trump as the angel; Biden and Kamala as Adam and Eve; and the White House as the Garden of Eden.

[-] portuga@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Trump looks pretty cute in a peach-colored dress.

[-] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's beyond weird and just abject cringe

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Why is it in three? Were they unable to find the right sized canvas? Also, most importantly, wtf is this?

[-] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

pretty sure it's based on the angel of God driving Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden lmao
