I hope you will enjoy this week’s artist ecclectic talent. His art speaks volumes about the world today…I adore it!

About the artist:
Andre was born on January 31, 1967 and received a b.f.a. in the 90’s- from hdk – zurich and Lucerne University of applied sciences and arts. He came to artistic “preeminence” in the 1990’s during a time when many artists – critics and collectors were quietly championing a return to the art of painting. Upon first glance his work seems to mirror the surrealists fascination with the subconscious and collective memories. However, André’s art transcends the initial surrealists strategies by consciously choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation.

I am so excited to see what approaches you guys take with this art…there are so many spinning through my head right now…I can’t even imagine what is going to be dropped here today. But, I can’t wait, so let’s get this party started….

    Today is nothing like yesterday
    nor tomorrow the same
    each moment makes changes
    leaves someone else to blame
    technology offers solutions
    electric shock comes in waves
    hacking replaces poker
    our past hidden in caves
    figuring out what we don’t know
    leaves our minds locked
    what man needs to understand
    life’s one big culture shock…

    Confused and searching for a way to go.
    Ideals arise and seem to be buzzing to and fro.
    How are we supposed to know
    Who truly is in the know?
    As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
    Seeking His will, all other wisdom we cannot afford.

    Andre this is a real masterpiece, very thought-provoking and open to different interpretations, which makes it PERFECT for this challenge, albeit it possibly encourages entering normally controversial territory such as faith, culture and politics. Thanks so much for allowing us the opportunity to showcase it here and muse off it for poetic creationism.

    OUR WORLD TODAY

    Here I sit
    No thought in mind
    Throw a picture at me
    Still blank for a while
    Then I think just write
    To the picture in front of me
    What do I see
    Ahhhhh
    There Bud Light year
    He will do
    But then I think yet again
    Theres a little dud wit a boom box
    What the heck is he doing there
    Dancein his little bottom off it would seem
    Then I look again what do I see
    A boom a rocket what
    What is that contraption that I see
    Then my finial look see
    I think I see Jesus
    Yep thats his face um sure
    But whos body is that
    Then I thought
    Ahhhhhh
    This much be the Mormon Jesus that I see
    Either way I see what I see
    And it looks darn good to me
    So this is what I saw
    The world today

    I know it’s a bit earlier (only 7 30 my time), but I’m exhausted, folks….so I’m saying my goodbyes now. You’ve all been wonderful on this challenge and I adored all the fabulous poetic interpretations. I’ll check back in on the blog in the morning….in case I miss some poetic love between now and then. Be well all. I’ll be seeing you on the other side of tomorrow… :love: :love: :love:

    Well hello folks and welcome Andre! Hope all is well with each one. 🙂 Interesting pic here. Let’s see what I can come up with. ‘k. Here’s my take on the pic.

    Was Jesus a Rapper?….

    Was Jesus a Rapper and did He direct-
    the Blues and the Rap folks in this here Jet(the universe)
    Do they perform outside the walls of our prisons-
    where innocence is burned off and overlooks all their vision?
    Does a celestial Buzz Light-Year take all of this in-
    pulling them back to cosmic studios at the close of their gig?
    Life has a balance,and I believe in respect—(Big Time!)
    but a question remains? Doth man’s inhumanity we forget?

    Endeavoring,:) Elfwing
