“Insensitive”
Alf Sukatmo. 2015
Charcoal and pencil on paper.
Hollow eyes
Sealed lips sewing shut
Cold face
Dead skin
Insensitive
Like a wooden statue
It’s just a quick small size drawing, nothing fancy about it.
Using live model reference, like my two previous drawings

I feel this picture is telling about honesty and about intentional blindness for the truth, am I right ? I like how young people do sincere art directly from the view or from the heart. Sometimes intentional blindness is forgiveness without apology, because of larger view of important issues. It’s difficult to explain .. good work Alf, I really love it. I have also done one mask picture many years ago, but I throw it away and now I regret it. For us women it’s more difficult to express negative feelings in Art. We often show only beauty or kindness.
Almost, but the drawing open for interpretation. I guess the opinion of the viewer may vary.
Yes, it’s always so, but in this case I wanted to know your view.
This was made as a symbol for people who lost their conscience, eyes wide shut, blind to see the degradating social condition that happend around them. Lips sewing tight as symbol for silence, not to speak for the truth.
And the mask, stand for what a mask supposed to be. To hide their face from reality. To be a hypocrite.
very good Alf 🙂
This is really good, Alf. Looks as if without the mask, the person has no eyes.
She has no eyes indeed, my friend.
Seram..
Apanya yg seram, Ar?
yang dibalik topeng mas alf.. kenapa tak kau buat bola matanya. apa karena itu ia gunakan topeng haha :p
Teks ini rujukannya, Ar:
Hollow eyes
Sealed lips sewing shut
Topeng dan lain sebagainya itu sekedar simbol dari mental orang-orang yang mulai kehilangan hati nuraninya.
-haish berat sekali pembahasannya- 😀
Otakmu memang sejuta dollar sepertinya 😀
Berharapnya sih begitu, Bro..
sadly lost behind the mask…
Yes, sadly..
Thanks, Sirpa.
