Consumerby ~omegabrennus

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Pop Art

Although other people may get something entirely different from my Consumer piece, this is the meaning I had intended when I did this piece. The current state of the American and World marketplace is one where we are constantly being sold everything and anything that can be packaged. These various companies try and tout their products as being able to make you feel all of the listed and varied emotions and states of being. Everything from happieness and security, to comfort and salvation. The consumer standing in front of the shelves only has two one dollar bills, and all the things that are offered cost more than the amount he has. The statement being, that you will never be able to buy any of these states or emotions, they can only truly be felt existentially. So he stands there in confusion, staring at things he'll never be able to buy. If you see something else in this piece, I invite you to offer your opinion below this post.

The conseptual possibilies portrayed in this piece are simply some of the most tedious and predestinarian thoughts concieved by an amatur artist that is free from the tyranny that is escargo.

Yeah, I didn't understand that either.

Keep stating, Omega!

I interpreted it more or less the same way.

Nowadays marketing campaigns try to convince us that buying a certain brand of shoes will make you beautiful, that eating a certain cereal every morning will make you successful, even that using a certain brand of tampon is empowering. It's not true; success isn't sold for ten bucks, sometimes discounted, at your nearest convenience store. It's a feeling, not a product.

Wonderful message and great art to accompany it. I like The little messages underneath the titles. "Good for the heart."

Definitely worth a

!
