Fun House of Phobias Painting

While pondering a fun house setting for a painting, I became aware that the whole reason for a fun house is to artificially induce fear in the patron. It became clear that fear or phobias would then become the central theme to the painting. Taking a smattering of common phobias and integrating them into my surreal art, here is the result: Meditation on how fear shapes our lives Fear fills us with anxiety. It makes us avoid situations and it can make us seek out situations. It forces us to overpay for things we don’t need. It urges us buy cheap knockoffs. It suffocates us in our inadequacies. It erodes our status and drives our aspirations. It ruins relationships and drowns us in paranoia. It stokes the fires of jealousy. It keeps us guarded and incapable of contact. It waits for us at night. It hides at the bus stop, dark alley, and foreboding basement. It lurks behind the strangers face. It slinks in the shadows of the unknown. It watches us as we sleep. It shows us what is wrong with the world. It crushes us with what we see in ourselves. It contaminates every uncertainty. It rationalizes our irrationality. It confuses our affirmations. It makes us doubt the truth. It dumbs us down and puffs us up. It lies out loud and inside our heads. It guides our thoughts and haunts our dreams. It disrupts the peace with blunt force. It looms like a dark cloud above us. It screams on the dark pier of surreal art. It is chronic and unrelenting. It removes our calm and unsettles the waters. It hints at the onset of madness. It overthrows the balance. It leads us to the edge. It threatens us with doom. It grips us like the icy hands of death.
