    Default An Interesting Image

    I came across this, and wondered what the meaning of this image is?

    What message is the originator of this image trying to convey?

    Looks like a rejected idea for an old Pink Floyd album cover.

    We tend to see ourselves as whole, solid beings but are in fact composites of rippling consciousness.

    It's a visual irony. The artist/illustrator has been around for many decades. This image has been cropped. Do a search on TinEye.com to see the full image.

    Photo Clipping - I was trying to remember Guy Billout's name and could not for the life of me.

    Rik - Here is a paper artist whose work is similar http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/1...by-eiko-ojala/

    That's what i found on the internet.i hope you can understand it.
    Really? Guy Billout's surreal paintings do indeed qualify as an exploration of relationships, but where you get the preachy "don't live in an illusion" escapes me. Guy's work flirts with the audience, presents revelations, telegraphs existential humor, but "if you don't like the outside, change the inside" sounds like a maxim you might find on the web, copy and paste it.

    Photo-clipping, honestly, and I mean honestly, what do you want out of TalkGraphics and what are you prepared to offer? You don't appear to use Xara, so you necessarily cannot bre on-topic.

    Expecting a reply,

    Sincerely,
