what do you think about this picture

[Eric]

Looks like a picture of a skyscraper on fire being photographed through the window of a car at street level a block and a half away.

I can see new Rabo Karabekian here!

Are you talking about me?

[Eric]

No, we're talking about the person who started this thread.

[ig299]

That's me.

This is very profound. I think the glaring colours but blurred edges of the shapes are alluding to the intensity of human desire in all its immediacy, but such emotion is never clear-cut. The red symbolises passion, and the black shows how desire is one and the same with emptiness and despair through longing. In this piece, desire is likened to fire and so is portrayed as a destructive albeit complex and thoroughly human emotion. Ig, this is an absolutely breathtaking piece which really makes you stop and think about humanity.

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

With a masterpiece like that, how could one not be serious. It's brilliant. I would like a copy framed and hanging on my wall.

Beauty.

I can even ignore the spelling mistake on account of how much emotion I get from this piece.

[ig299]

Well I don't know Ryan I doubt  how serious you are.

I can even ignore the spelling mistake on account of how much emotion I get from this piece.

I can't believe it's a mere spelling mistake - there must be some hidden symbolism in this short message. Disire â€" desire â€" deus irae (angry god) â€" dies irae (day of anger); so many possible clues for interpretation.
We can’t ignore Eric’s interpretation â€" sure, impressionistic painting can’t be taken too literally, but somewhere in this picture I can see a burning city under red, apocalyptic sky. Is it a day of God’s anger? Or one’s desire can set the world on fire it it’s strong enough?
It’s one of most provoking pieces I’ve ever seen.
