VIEW IN MY ROOM
The (Rood) or crucifix, the ultimate torture device to inflict pain and suffering which therefore makes it the greatest symbolic gateway to spiritual salvation. It’s only at the moment of absolute intolerable resistance that we finally have no choice but to let go, to stop the struggle and fulfil the goal of all spiritual practice. All the other pain play is just that, play & practise... ⛪️ I’m beginning to believe that religion is a necessary evil. Humans, it appears, will apply a fanatical religious fervour and hateful bigotry to whatever it is they choose to fight for and against... what if a God is the least damaging of the many choices? ‘The voluntary acceptance and therefore transcendence of suffering...’ Jordan Peterson. ‘In this moment you accept the unacceptable... the end of suffering is finding the transcendent dimension of the space within us...’ Eckhart Tolle Deeply inspired by Dali and his 1947 book about creating a masterpiece. I can’t honestly say I followed it to the letter. But I can honestly say it’s fantastic. A glimpse into the mind of a genius. Bought for me by my son, Jack.

What is it every artist is trying to achieve? Recognition? Perfection? Fame? Wealth?... Or are they trying to convey something of themselves? To understand the inner workings of what it is to be a human and how that manifests into the people and the world around them? What shall I paint? Do I try to convey a message? Symbolism? Allegory? A legend? A myth? A story? All questions every artist since the cave has been grappling with and no doubt will continue to do so ad infinitum. My ancestors painted religion, I consider myself to be currently painting that which has replaced it in the age of nihilism, narcissism, identity & sexuality. So I'm trying to paint something that challenges the viewer, that dances on the edge of socially and culturally acceptable. Dares the observer to step outside of convention, to hang one of my paintings is going to require something other than just money, something more important than money... you won't see one of my paintings in the high street gallery! Buy art because you... ...LOVE IT! Guy. p.s. I have a free signed copy of my full colour art book, which is available on Amazon, if you are the first to send me an email via my 'Contacts' page on website, with 'USINU' as subject I will post you that book as a prize. Thank you for reading this. (I will post note here once over) www.GuyUsinUArtist.co.uk
