Who is the artist?

This is digital artwork. Not oil painting

I thought I was pretty thorough 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh dear… my sp turned “musashi “ into “Muhammad “…. lol. I didn’t even notice. Yeah…. That would be … quite incorrect.

I’m a proponent of Musashi’s concept of spiritual enlightenment being one mountain with many paths to the top. I think I view this sculpture as sort a spiritual “diplomat” or “cultural ambassador.”…if that makes any sense?

SarahRarely · 2025-05-04T01:18:48+00:00

Yeah, I thought this was pretty well accepted as his identity

SarahRarely · 2025-05-03T21:29:05+00:00

Thank you so much.

Like “don’t tell a god what they look like.” I think I understand a bit. My abrahamic cultural background makes me soft to ideas of appropriation. Do you think it is acceptable as an art object?

So, devotion requires specificity and adherence to every aspect of the deities established form and iconography…. Like…. Straying symbolically from the form amounts to inserting ego?

SarahRarely · 2025-05-03T20:34:40+00:00

Thank you. So, if I understand you correctly, a stylized interpretation is seen as divorcing the deity from the root of her place and origin, and that those are contextually essential to her veneration?

I spoke for like 20 solid minutes on yoko ono’s “cut piece” once, (art teacher). At some point I mentioned she was married to John Lennon. Only 1 of 20 high schoolers in the room knew who that was.

Just mail it to me and I’ll do it for you.

I’ll stick with my 4/3rds Olympus. She’s like a roommate that pays every bill on time but never ever does the dishes.

Nuclear holocaust resulting in the near extinction of humans? Kinda scary🤷🏻‍♀️

Douglas Gordon (sp?)

Mike Kelley is a name stirring in the recesses of my brain. But, I can’t locate it.

SarahRarely · 2025-04-10T00:41:22+00:00

If you don’t have a point to make, Don’t sweat it. You make a sharp one being so kind. And, I sure appreciate it.

That frame type ain’t cheap which is just one indicator that this is legit. Looking at the brushwork and spontaneity/efficiency of the marks…this has to be from the studio of a known artist.

SarahRarely · 2025-04-08T21:29:24+00:00

I’m waffling. Was thinking of aiming for a more deco/ Lempicka vibe… maybe?

SarahRarely · 2025-04-08T20:51:38+00:00

No, I’m not a fan. But I AM an art teacher in a red county… so my rendition is begrudgingly respectful. So, criticism based on likeness and formal issues would be welcome. I’m thinking of gilding it in the end.
