Daily Deviation

Given 2008-11-02

Victor Powell (*theartyst), the creator of this artwork, suggested himself for this DD with the following:
"Taking approximately 800 hours to complete, the 48" x 48" oil painting Everybodies Beautiful is much more than Times Square being over-run by mannequins. It's my way of taking a jab at the ever-growing ever-addicting plastic surgery phenomenon, and if you look even closer, you'll see that I'm using road construction as a metaphor for plastic surgery. The setting is in Times Square, because I believe that's the center of everything (well, especially business wise) and it's a place that has changed to the hub of constant advertisements - telling us what to wear, how to look, where to go to and what to buy." (Suggested by *theartyst and Featured by $spinegrinder)

Seriously stunning art work. There are so much to see in it. And to ponder.

Dang, this is awesome, it's a great painting, and even with a message. :omg:

But I thought long hair was also considered of the highest beauty?

Thanks, and U are Right - long hair signifies beauty,... BUT I'm making a statement on Plastic Surgery, and used mannequins as a model 4 every person ((sculptured hair works best - as not to take away from the SAME LOOK)) "They are plastic on the outside"

Ofcourse, for a mannequin you'd need the short hair, you're right. :)

I love the detail and the way the faces are identical, I could never do that
Lol, victors secret, that's awesome

Tell me, is oil painting hard? Cause I have never tried them before and it might be interesting to try a new medium

This is beautiful. You've developed an amazing style. I like your work a lot.

thanks Dominik ,

Yeah I've finally decided on what style to pursue around 7 years ago,... kind of a "cartoon realism" take, not completely realism - not completely a cartoon. But, having a candy colored look 2 it.

This piece is the most muted of the Seven Paintings in the series, though.

well, to ask if something is hard is a loaded question, because after time ((usually lots of tyme)) everything gets easier, so YES it's HARD in the beginning...

I'm always learning new things - so watch out, harder things are coming up ;o)

Ah okay, maybe I'll wait until I get further into understanding other stuff before trying that

And yay! Good luck C:
