i find the idea of a christian presence interesting, maybe the artist himself wouldn’t say the piece is meant as christian but the symbolism of religious ideas in various religions is similar to each other, as both buddha and christ are considered sun gods…maybe there is a single unifying link…or root in how we depict these ideas, or maybe they’re just cliche, but i’m not assuming the role of critic :-"
…i was thinking vaguely, there was an interesting video i watched awhile ago about the symbolism between christianity, buddhism and hinduism all being similar maybe even related but like i said it was awhile ago and the thoughts are vague, i’ll try and up a link if i can find one.
You talking about meats meier there or alex grey?
I have a reluctance to even consider CG (computer generated) work as Art. CG work is too perfect, clean, it’s superficial. I dislike the Alex Grey work simply because the imagery is cliche.
Why?
EDIT for Maynard James Keenan: It’s not the same artist I thought you meant the work you posted was similar to the Tool artwork. Considering this thread is Alex Grey paintings and the image you posted has the name Meats Meier on it I would have thought that gave it away
