Grey Poupon You

Grey Poupon You

Artist: Unknown, 2007

16" X 20" Acrylic on Canvas

Linearism, Abstraction

Passionate linear brush strokes, combined with bold freeform use of color and metallics, attack the subject with a raw vengeance for a truth unsought and yet unfound. Has Madame been attacked at a hot dog stand by an angry patron? Or playing with the latest fad in in her quest for this illusion that we humans call beauty? What of her golden Hapsburg Jaw? The pyramidic neck? Her expansive, plaintive eyes, black as frying pans, do not communicate her thoughts. Instead, they act as place holders until something else can fill the empty void.

Somewhere Over the Phallic Rainbow

Somewhere Over the Phallic Rainbow

Artist: Unknown

16"X20" Acrylic on stretched canvas

Dorian Iconoclasm School of Painting

The artist’s muted color palette creates a light, ethereal background to this classic Judy Garland pose. The girlish pink offsets the jarring presence of the rainbow, which is presented here with green as its outer layer and red as its inner. As this is backwards from the natural color order of a rainbow, it subtly reminds the viewer that beauty can be artifice, created to manipulate an emotional response. The rainbow also appears to take on a life of its own, attempting to peek around Ms. Garland’s head to position itself more centrally in the picture, but Judy is having none of it. Clearly, as the artist points out, it is Judy who is the true wonder while the rainbow is merely a metaphor for her accidential influence on the gay community.    ~MKS

If one drinks one too many Whiskey Sours, clicks their heels three times and says "It must be her" that true enough, one can almost feel Judy's presence.

Le Clown, Marcel

Le Clown, Marcel
Unknown, ca. 1970

Acrylic on Stretch Canvas

Abtsract Hitchcock-Clownism

With Marcel we see the clown as the French would say, who is la needie.  Not le clown as Jerry Lewis would be le clown.  For that would be Le Clown Jerry Lewis, and this is Le Clown, Marcel.  But Marcel is a needful thing and he must be saved by you, or we all will die a death of deaths.  Plaintiff in his desire, Marcel does not beg for you attenion, he commands it, against a background that makes this work as dizzying, yet improbable.  Yet here you are, and here is Marcel. Life is a funny thing, no?  We say "yes, quite."

My Love For You is Like An Etch-A-Sketch

My Love for You is Like an Etch-A-Sketch

Unknown, Artist (Acrylic on Plywood 20X30")

1990's - Franticism

Unknown explores the raw proto-realism of the 1990's in this ode to the root of bad art, the Etch-A-Sketch. While the nude form only occupies the far right of the picture, one wonders on what astral plane she floats while her nervous aura communicates a frantic energy wave into the vapor that is space.

"My Love for You is Like an Etch-A-Sketch" is an historic artifact in the world of Bad Art. Unknown's work was declared an instant masterpiece by the Esteemed Director of the mothership of Bad Art, the Musuem of Bad Art (MOBA) in Dedham, Massachusetts. The work led to the formation of AFBAM (The American Federation of Bad Art Museums) and an immediate agreement was reached, the painting shipped to Dedham where it became part of MOBA's art show of nudes in a greater Boston healthclub.

Forever Umber

Forever Umber


Artist: Unknown, Oil on Canvas, 18X24

We see here, the prolific artist Unknown's attempt to address a pensive nude form...almost masculine in its shape, feminine in its hair style, and placed the figurine knee deep in a Freudian metaphore of umber paint laid thick, smattered and puckered, which lifts from the canvas to us as if to say "we are all mired in our own excretment, no?.  No, indeed.
