●

PRESENT

●

Every painting or sculpture by an artist represents the three elements of time, whether in a portrait, landscape or still life, and whether realistically, abstractly or impressionisticly.

●

Some artists concentrate on the past, some on the present and some on the future.  Not because they are conscious of why but because they are driven by circumstances they experience,

●

●

FUTURE

●

Regardless of their conscious motive each still reflect unconsciously symbolically the past, present and future.

●

What was, what is, and what will be.

●

The symbolism may not be easily understood but in the depiction one has a fixed moment in time that represents a particular event yet in that event it symbolises what is, but what was, and what will be.

●

An example

●

The depiction of a tree.  It may show a mature tree of perhaps 10 years growth but in that depiction it speaks symbolisically as it was as a seed, and what its life span will be just by seeing it when 10 years old.

●

It is the same with a human child, or adult man, in a portrait painted or sculpted, a still life and a landscape.

●

Even in decorative design the elements of time and event is symbolically defined as in these stripes

●

THE TITLE

●
THE PRESENT

CHAOS 

IN THE

WORLD

●

In these stripes symbolism is represented in colour depicting the various cultures, nationalities of countries and every religion.  The fact that each has contrasting colour stripes indicate the two divided sides, humanoid races, and divided interests and policy within the society and government of each country.

●

The depiction of stripes indicate an unemotional mental condition but they also depict a competitive and divided purpose and element that indicates past, present and future.  Eternal conditions

●

If not easily recognised this competition is depicted in the way each border is created, each blocking one another, meaning, non-co-operation, lack of communication, closed borders, conflicting policy, opposing laws, unshakable independence, freedom, and self determination.

●

This is exactly how mankind is and has been operating internationally from the beginning of time.

●

THE MALE NUDE IN ART

●

Also in these nude men there is past, present and future

●

●

In them one sees the symbolism of beauty, pain, resurection, peace, violence, torment, hope, faith, truth, self determination, individuality, honour and nobility.

●

And here in these stripes you see the past, present and future of mankind on Earth

●

Permanently

both

Mentally & Physically

DIVIDED
