GOMBURZA is the acronym for Gomez, Burgos and Zamora. This is the story of the Three Filipino Martyrs whom were executed by Garrote which is a method of strangulation using a chord and tightened by a screw -like device.
Oooo, yes, I like this! The modelling and composition has this sort of diego rivera feel to it, though not entirely. Very classical and eerie. Ooo, yes, ooo. I love how they worked this sort of barbarism into their paintings. Makes me wonder how they reacted to it back in those days. I mean, in the painting, it has this calm stillness to it, like, complacent, like closure. The act has been completed and it doesn't change. You don't really feel pain or anguish, it's cold and dead, really removed from the event in question.
If I have to draw a contemporary comparison, let's take Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ as an example. This was obviously a horrid event, lots of pain and suffering, I mean, we're talking about a very slow and painful way to die. When people see the crucifixion represented in paintings, it has this odd level of detachment to it, so people don't really see it as a ghastly thing, more like a graphic, like they only see the symbolism. They never see the pain involved, so they're of course throwing this huge stink over this movie because it portrays crucifixion as a really ghastly ordeal, you know? It's strange. Did they expect the final hours of Christ to be fraught with drunken merriment and prostitutes? Sometimes I wonder what people think, if they think at all.
This though, it's good, and the image is of higher quality than previous submissions. I like the texture and the warm colors, and the fabric is beautiful.
Yup, You got that right. I was actually kicked out of an Art Festival because of the deep subject of my artwork. People don't take time to find out about the story behind the painting. There's this one gallery here with a bunch of drunkards that don't even know how to draw, their just a bunch of rich people who were able to afford to take a Fine Arts course in college and they think their an Artist.
I actually have a version of Passion of Christ its also an Oil Painting it just too big that I don't know how can I take a pic of it. The title is " Cruxifiction" I'm going to try to upload it using a webcam,hopefully it'll come out good.
Bad trip nga naman yung na-prejudge yung painting mo dahil sa depiction ng GomBurZa. I do believe that people should at least try to understand the meaning of it. I see it as a nice tribute to the 3 priests.
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
