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 90 points 2 months 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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 2 months 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.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

Hehe buggers belief ;)

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

I thought it was "beggars belief"?

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

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

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 months ago

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

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

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

If i was religious at all, that would be the heighth of blasphemy and deserving of eternal damnation

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

what’s interesting about contemporary christianity is that it’s not even all that clear if the idea of “eternal damnation” is something that’s actually supported by the scripture. and yet it’s such a fundamental part of modern christianity, especially for the so-called “god-fearing christians”.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

If you go strictly by the bible, there is not eternal damnation, only in a sense that in the final judgement at the end of the end times, those who do not make it into heaven are simply destroyed, not sent to burn forever in hell.

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The burning in hell part was inserted by Paul to keep people in line. It's Tartarus, from Greek mythology.

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Trump ticks so many false prophet/antichrist boxes, it's insane, yet Christians love him somehow

[-] andmonad@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I mean that's also one of the tickboxes

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

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months 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.

What’s that painting even trying to depict?

[-] pingveno@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.
