Description

acrylics on canvas
time: aprox 2-3 hours

Technical note- colours are odd, but it's not easy to scan canvas (plus it's bit cut- by scanner, probably on each side).
The work is very rough, but I wanted that way.

On one day I watched rather say cheap and boring horror movie. Anyway as a common motif in such production, they use a scene with hanging body. For a personal reason such scenes are heavy for me, not scary, rather emotional.
So I started to wonder (as I said the film was boring), what would I do if I happened to be in room with hanging ghost- other words would I rather die on heart attack or from some kind of stoke, or cranial haemorrhage (caused by hypertension), or maybe from some kind of asthma attack.

That problem however seems to resolvable only by experiment, which I'm not looking forward. The conclusion I came up with was actually on bit different matter- it's a wish that if in that (absurd) situation, I'd be able to overcome the fear and actually cut that poor being down. [Since the rope is in a way a bound holding that person “down”.]

The next day was grey and not mine at all- kind of day You should stay in bed, but sleep doesn't come. Too little conversation and too much thinking led me to conclusion, that solitude does not much differ from death. Nothing happens in live, no change, only the same places and “activities”, so since it's the change- the time passes You by unaffected. You have no worth to the world, no one wonders where are You, how are You feeling, what's on your mind, no one remembers your name. Nothing happens to talk about. And if You die, no one would notice, no one feels it and no one would even cry because of that. It's just as being dead alive.
I know it's pretty emo depressing, but unfortunately not sufficient amount of light, wind, rain and clouds (headaches) makes me get that state this part of the year...

So to get that all from my head I tried to get some sleep (but as I wrote did work, but this pic appeared before me so I rushed with painting it and surprisingly it helped a lot and get me out of that state and now I actually very like this painting and for some reason makes me smile each time I look at it... ( Yeah I know another bit creepy thing ^^; )
