🔥 Inktober 02 - Hell's Fufik 🔥

In art, I've always enjoyed the visions of hell. Specially those big fluffy monsters that eat sinners.

Art installation "Criança" ("Upbringing" in Catalan) by Octavi Arrizabalaga "Aryz" in the Santa Maria del Pi basilica, Barcelona, Catalonia.

This church was built in the 14th century in Gothic style, rebuilding an older Romanesque church. The Medieval architecture contrasts with the modern art piece, in a contemporary urban style.

"Criança" represents maternity. The chosen image can have many readings, but directs the viewer to the concepts of love as a universal value, generosity, altruism, protection and embrace of another.

This modern art piece is located right above the original 14th-century statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms. Contrarily to the Medieval sculpture, "Criança" represents two anonymous figures, but in the same expression of love as Mary's. The Santa Maria del Pi basilica has chosen this artwork as part of their view of their church as an open space for all interpretations of religious and spiritual feelings.

The idea for this art installation was born when the religious community of Santa Maria del Pi were upset that spray-paint users kept vandalizing the church's exterior. Then, they decided to change their perspective: spray-painted art is often marginalized, proof of a fight for art to be located at the centre of our lives, in the streets we walk through every day; and is then pushed out of the public space with the constant attempts of erasing it. The basilica then contacted B-Murals, an art organization in Barcelona specialized in urban art, to welcome a piece of urban art inside their building. If you are familiar with church architecture, you will have realised the piece is standing in the holiest location.

✽ The Cabinet of Botly Delights ⚘

This painting started with the title, and I drew directly from "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch for inspiration. I loved zooming way in on the painting to scrutinize all the little Bosch characters and choosing which elements would lend themselves to the whims of a Collector Bot. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do!

Enrico Pacella // Spectral Emanations of "The four solar heralds" adorning the interiors of @rotefabrik Zürich in summer 2023... together with @horizontkollektiv as part of "Kunst von unten I"

"Everyone in Farjestad spoke of evil omens and other horrors. [...] Four Suns hung in the sky yesterday afternoon"

"The four solar heralds" is a loveletter to one of the the most outrageous medieval depictions of (presumeably) unknown aerial phenomena, namely the one of Nürnberg in 1561.

I think about this part all the time when i see online conversations about bigotry and oppression that focus on the most cartoonish and blatant (and isolated) iterations (also often explicitly associated with an 'uneduated' [working class and/or nonwhite] perpetrator), rather than the subtle structural machinations which actually serve to fundamentally define the way a marginalised person is able to move through society. & the way people are able to affect an academic posture when discussing a form of oppression which they themselves benefit from and participate in which allows them to appear to transcend this relationship altogether, making them not only not complicit in this relationship but also actually better placed to comment on it than either those who perpetuate it or those who are marginalised by it.

you can read the whole article here if you're interested I would really recommend it :)

#L----0 temporarily retiring from the most blatant transmisogyny to literally be like 'antisemitism is silly and its all just people who #believe jews can magically turn into dragons' or whatever and not like something our whole society revolves aroundin so many ways #and her sources are all about like medieval art history and not like. contemporary living discussions #which is literally a reflection of antisemitism that prefers dead jewish ppl passive jewish ppl and reflections of jewish ppl in the xtian #imagination... #'i can only find zionist sources on antisemitism' damn thats crazy did you know im killing you inside my mind rn. incidentally!! #i would literally screenshot like the whole article so please just read the whole thing:) #like its so crazy because youre both claiming not to participate in [in this case misogyny] AND perpetuating misogyny at the very same time #rendering women as less objective and worse commentators than you BECAUSE they participate in misogyny (as objects of it) and you dont at a #MAN!!!

I feel bad for Margaret of York that this portrait is always used to represent her

fuck ass proportions!!!

#she's got a shoulder-head ratio like a bratz doll v____v #even if you ignore the obviously-shrunken body the facial proportions are just clearly out of wack too #its so odd bc it's not as if portraits of the nobility from the late medieval period are normally this bad #a lot of medieval art of like famous ppl--portraits that arent full paintings--arent even bad per se #like the most well-known contemporary image of her father richard duke of york isnt BAD its just not a full painting #so it's quite unsatisfactory to a modern viewer wondering what they looked like #margaret's husband charles the bold duke of burgundy had several splendid paintings that i think many would be surprised at the quality of #text post #medieval art #every time i see this painting it makes me unhappy #i know there are other better images used to represent her but i dont see them as prominently so im guessing theyre not contemporary? #i havent done my research into them so dont take that as fact #usually in a case like this. if the most well-known image of someone is this fuck ugly #it's got the most valid historical provenance for representing them. which is a shame #no human being has ever looked like this portrait of margaret of york duchess of burgundy #it hurts. it's painful to behold
