shock & horror

WOW!! "reality is lies, so lets look at the lies." most if not all of the artist in these films actually found it hard to believe that their pictures paintings or films were given the label of being "shocking" mainly because they lived in a time where so much had already been done there was nothing really so "new" to the eyes of the world. i feel like they only expressed the thoughts that so many kept deep inside of them. Some thought there work was only meant to be funny; "bring me the head" and the abstract stuck together bodies of young girls. while i was watching the films i thought [this gives disturbing a whole new meaning]. distortion, desecration seeing body parts chopped off and hanging from trees people being pulled apart by their limbs. most of this kind of art is shown in figurines or films to give more of a dramatic feel, getting your point across isn't always the easiest thing to do in just a painting, you need sound you need  things that appear to be right in front of you in a "3D" human like appearance(figurines) . this would put in a position of desire, the deep dark desire of your mind, because darkness is always here. Is it art? yes. the art that makes you think it makes you keep looking while you ponder on the thought "why on earth am i looking?" because you want to see what happens next, or you want your mind to get lost in your own shock and horror film that your thoughts create; all you needed was a little push a jump start into these enclosed part of your mind the thoughts you tend to shun away from day to day. we all have them but humanity will tell you that they are not appropriate for the everyday world but in this art your mind can be free with out wondering "who's judging me". The viewers and the artist both decides what offends and sometimes the viewer may be a little more offended the the artist, you must consider what may actually be normally to a person who comes up with these types of art. "santa's chocolate shop" and "disasters of war" their minds go much deeper then the art they grace us with.
