Weekend art appreciation: Georgia O'Keeffe's mysterious, dreamlike paintings blend abstraction, surrealism and symbolism to startling effect. Zoom in on the curious shapes rendered in the bones, petals and clouds, and you'll see the abstract language at play.

Friend showed the game to me years ago when I was and am big into symbolism. It also helped that Champions of Kamigawa was just out at the time and I was big into Samurai and Japanese stuff at that moment. Still, I think these cards got me into the game most by art and mechanics.

The symbolism exhibit at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social is completely worth a visit
Entry area for The Art Institute of Chicago's Symbolism exhibit "Strange Realities" An etching of Munch's The Scream Odilon Redon's drawing, Cauldron of the Sorceress. Appears to be a seated woman shown shrouded in shadow, he face is not very visible. In the cauldron is what looks like two heads, one of which is showing the skull. Jean Delville's drawing titled Medusa. A color image of the face of Medusa, her hands outstretched next to her face. Her hair, being made of snakes, maybe held up be her hands.

UM

I was putting symbolism stuff together for these guys and then I wanted to do something with it, so here's something a little different. These were fun to do and I absolutely loved working on them.

I also realized I don't like designing new clothes anymore, so I just didn't lol

I think accepting the fact that Del Toro is a ranted artist and his stance on art and AI is very important and valuable in our times AND being angry at him and criticising him for completely erasing all gay symbolism and subtext from Frankenstein can and should coexist.

Showing off my recent works, shamelessly self-promoting. These were all gifts, haven't decided on commission prices. Yet.
A digital painting of a black and white chihuahua and blue orchids in my stained glass style with a forested background, lit by the moon. Cover art I did for a Hazbin AU Fic written by AnubianOne on AO3 and Wattpad. Features yellow-orange feline eyes, a spread of cards showing a royal flush, and lines with red and black webbing between them. Whole lotta symbolism. A digital painting of a lunar moth resting on a rose, framed by blue and silver circles, with a multi-square background.

Just kind of poking around at symbolism and vibes with Juriel, given recent findings in game lately.....

[ #Windrose #DnD #OC #OCsky #tiefling #art ]
Juriel [he/they] from the shoulders up with one hand covering their mouth, expression worried. the blue tones are muted, with a light shadow behind, and a black circle halo reminiscent of a black cathedral window with ice cracks spreading from it framing their head.

Lethe as dissolution.

The soul rises in yellow. The body falls in red. Death rendered as release, not tragedy.

Abstract poster showing a blurred yellow human silhouette dissolving into red and black gradients, with minimalist typography referencing Lethe and the concept of death as liberation.

Thanks for "engaging" Neil.

It's not a question of "feeling" I'm not being heard.

It's knowing with certainty that I've been studiously ignored by both Dr. Elizabeth Shee Twohig & the Royal Irish Academy for over 4 years now, if not longer.

See: www.facebook.com/RIAKnowthExc...

#KeepDiscovering
Robin Edgar I am quite concerned by Elizabeth Shee Twohig claiming that because "the carvings are geometric, we can't decipher them with any certainty", and "but we can appreciate the achievement of the artists and builders of Knowth 5000 years ago, even if we cannot understand the art." Her suggestion that "perhaps its symbolism was a secret, even in its own time, except for certain people" only deepens the "mystery". Thankfully Ms. Twohig does acknowledge, "The fact that the people who built the "passage tombs" had an interest in astronomical alignments might suggest that some of the art is related to this, such as the radial representing the sun perhaps." Perhaps? Isn't it glaringly obvious that the "radial lines" around circles and rings are rayed sun symbols? Doesn't the readily observable fact that the sun shining into the passage of Loughcrew's Cairn T on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes lights up circles with radial lines on Loughcrew's "Equinox Stone", as it did this morning, all but conclusively confirm that the "geometric" symbols that are circles and rings with radial lines radiating outward around them represent the sun? Is there any credible hypothesis that these rayed circular symbols represent something other than the sun? Is there any credible hypothesis that these rayed circular symbols represent something other than the sun? Scientists very credibly hypothesized that rayed sun symbols are ancient (even prehistoric) representations of the sun surrounded by its corona, something that is only seen during total solar eclipses, decades ago. I noticed that four of the seven rayed sun symbols carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns" are almost identical to a scientific astronomical drawing of the 1851 total solar eclipse in the mid-1990s, and published my hypothesis to the internet in the late 1990s. Others have presented credible hypotheses to the effect that overlapping concentric circles or spirals represent the moon covering the sun during a solar eclipse. I have been researching how solar eclipses, especially total solar eclipses, influenced ancient humanity's religious beliefs and iconography since the early 1990s. I have an overview of diverse cultures all around the world. I have identified solar eclipse symbolism at Dowth, Loughcrew, Knowth and Newgrange. There were three total solar eclipses and three annular eclipses above Ireland during the 4th millennium BCE. I really don't understand how the academic "experts" can just give a passing nod to the mere possibility that *some* of the "geometric" patterns known as circles, concentric circles, rings, and spirals "might" represent the sun "perhaps". Don't these very same "geometric" patterns, especially the circles with "radial lines" radiating outwards from them, represent the sun in diverse other ancient cultures? Why would these symbols represent anything other than the sun (and moon) in prehistoric Irish culture? Especially in light of the fact that the Neolithic "passage tomb" builders in Ireland's Boyne Valley "had an interest in astronomical alignments" that include, but are not limited to, winter solstice sunset alignments (Dowth), winter solstice sunrise alignments (Newgrange), and equinox alignments at Knowth. . . While I cannot claim to completely and definitively "decipher" ALL of the rock art at Knowth, Newgrange, Dowth, Loughcrew, Fourknocks and other Irish megalithic sites, I can assert with a high degree of certainty that the circles, rings, or holes with "radial lines" carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns", Loughcrew's "Equinox Stone", and Knowth's inner passage housing its stone basin do in fact represent the sun. More specifically, these rayed sun symbols are almost certainly inspired by prehistoric observations of one or more of the three total solar eclipses that occurred above 4th millennium BCE Ireland. Once one understands that "a rosette is a rosette is a rosette" as it were. . . the "geometric" symbols suddenly became quite easy to "decipher. A quite universal symbol used to represent the "union" of the sun and moon during solar eclipses is an upturned lunar crescent cupping or embracing a solar disk, or other solar symbol, such as a rosette. I am pretty sure that I see a 5 millennia old version of that universal symbol for solar eclipses carved into the outer perimeter of Knowth's stone basin. An almost identical symbol was engraved in a pot or basin found in or near Knowth that is now "lost". Inside Knowth's stone basin is geometric shape known as a circle with radial lines extending outward from its "equator", it compares very well with some 19th century astronomical drawing of total solar eclipses that displayed the "winged sun" coronal pattern. Herewith a video of my Eclipsology interpretation of the "geometric" patterns carved into Knowth's stone basin. I hope that the final publication of this important archaeological-anthropological book will give more than just a passing nod to the possibility that *some* of the symbols "might suggest" the sun "perhaps", and the final publication will not suggest that "we cannot understand the art", and even authoritatively assert that "we can't decipher the the carvings with any degree of certainty" because they symbols are "geometric".

Marc Chagall
"Lovers in Blue" (1914)
Oil on cardboard | 49 x 44 cm (19 x 17 inches)
Private Collection
#ArtSky #Chagall
"Lovers In Blue" Marc Chagall 1914 Meaning and Symbolism: The artwork depicts two embracing figures, which represent the artist and his first wife, Bella Rosenfeld, who was his lifelong muse and the central source of love in his art. The Color Blue: The composition is dominated by various shades of blue, which for Chagall was not a symbol of sadness, but rather the "color of love" itself, representing spirituality, depth, and peace. The color helps create a space devoid of normal physics, where the couple transcends earthly boundaries. Floating Figures: The figures appear to be floating or weightless, which symbolizes a love that is free and ethereal, unbound by the constraints of the real, material world. Chagall often depicted himself and Bella flying together above their hometown of Vitebsk, symbolizing their deep emotional bond that defied distance and mortality. Personal Connection: The painting reflects the artist's personal life and his profound happiness when he was with Bella. Chagall's works from this period express the intense joy and spiritual union the couple shared.

This film was everything I needed in my life. The art, the drama, the detail, the symbolism—thank you for creating such a powerful work of art. I saw it in cinema and wished I could have paused to look at all the paintings! Amazing work, cannot wait to see more 🖤

comm piece for @volmie.varyel.com (the only not warframe in this set lol) a cyberpunk scene. we're looking at the crowded city from an elevated spot, in the middle a dark, oriental brutalism building dominating the otherwise colorful city. the building is extremely tall and wide, with lots of mythical symbolism, a red eye glowing with geometric pattern. in front of it hollow-head statues, their void filled with laser eyes, scanning random areas of the city. the building has a glowing white neon sign reading 'arcahex' in a blocky, merged font. below the monolith, a busy multi-lane road, its lanes divided with red neon lights like a guitar strings running down the dark neck. in front of the building a giant fountain, at its base little shops and kiosks and a busy park full of people. surrounding all that, a neon glow of ads scattered across busy skyscrapers, slowly filling the area towards the camera. in foreground, a dark ledge with industrial wiring and random elements. on the right, volmie's vtuber character stands with his book, the stelligenoire, and scythe, his tail laying across corrugated metal on the cold tiles. on the left, sitting on the wires are two of his ravens, just silhouettes with red glowing eyes. above the city, night sky with colorful stars and a red, swirly aurora. comm piece for @warframestuff on tumblr oberon youkai skin in black, off-white and bronze-gold metallics, reaching out towards the camera with a radiant butterfly landing on his finger. the other hand is in the back, over the grass. second butterfly is sitting on his horn. the neck and part of the torso are decorated with energy flowers from the ephemera. in the background, dark forest. comm for @gaybeardedmen on tumblr low key monochrome character with faint splashes of color with bright red background with swirls. it's a protoframe nidus oc, looking at the camera with tilted head, body fully and head partially mutated. his right hand is slightly golden, sharp metal claws poking at the face, pinky finger dragging up corner of the mouth, ring finger pulling lower eyelid down, showcasing the meat of the eye, other fingers resting on the head. his hair is black, half short half chin long, straight cut with blue tint on the bottom. he's baring his sharp teeth, with weird teeth-like spikes growing out from the gums and out of his mouth. underwater scene of yareli floating at the bottom of the ocean. she's in blue, white and cyan colors with silvery accents and green-cyan emission channel. she's facing the camera, her skirt and tail slightly blurred, as if balancing her against the flow. she's holding one arm in front of herself, and the other is raised to her side, her fingers meeting a snout of a sharrac fish, which looks very happy. at the meeting point hear-shaped bubbles and water flow. the foreground is composed of rocks and corals, behind it a sandy ocean floor with the light dancing across the green-yellow dunes. around, seaweed and rocks, rock arches, between which we can see a yogwun, khut-khut and a hiding norg. from above yareli, sunrays penetrating the surface of the water.

And thank you for the time and rawness you put into this piece and your art 💗

It's so poignant 👌I adore the paw print symbolism too: that even pure connection was marked and stained.

SO MANY LAYERS 😍
