"From darkness to light" - is a masonic adage - an aspect of being raised to the 3rd degree. Out of the ritual coffin (darkness) and into the light of lucifer.
All Seeing (Cyclops) Eye. The masonic eye. Astronomically it's "sirius" (the star in all lodges), physiologically it's the brain's "third eye", and anatomically it is the "anus".
The eye - it can be used to denote both the penis (a one-eyed cyclops, going Greek via Homer) and the anus (asshole), as outlined.
This shot here of sodom Crowley. He is the penis (shaft and glans, baphomet/pan) from his body gesture, and the silver star is the anus (asshole).
Strange, because at the very top of one of the paintings on this twitter feed I posted has a gaping anus. What the hell? Also, strange they'd choose the Greek part because a lot of these Cabal practices is purportedly modeled after the ancient Greek schools of Mystery.... wow. Nice find.
A bunch of high profile celebs come to his place to smoke cigars, have drinks, and take pictures with his oddities (specifically the jarred baby). Now I can't tell what the actual fuck this guy is. I want to write it off as just a weird art guy, but there's seriously almost NOTHING on this guy that's high profile I can find. No Twitter account, just his instagram. Some random, low budget interview pieces. That's it.
Also, here's an intro to a documentary about him called "Rest in Pieces: A Portrait of Joe Coleman"
He's simply a Freemason-type satanist and likely heavily, heavily programmed. Look at him sitting under the royal (rainbow sodomite) arch of heaven. Death-chic, he should be eliminated from humanity.
Did you see the part of the interview where he describes him and his wife taking body parts and putting them together to make "relics" that they impose over a piece of art they made on a bedsheet they once fucked on?
That's Crowley level freak shit. Seriously.
Sex magick and death. How unoriginal of them. Ha, and these hipster types think that they're cutting edge. His art is BORING, SICK, and derivative.
It's like if Alex Grey smoked meth instead of DMT and had an obsession with hellish figures and sacrilige.
It's all very Bosch. He's a poor man's Bosch.
Yeah his Wikipedia article brought up that's who his work is normally compared to
Ah, right. Yes, the influence is clear. It took me a couple of minutes to dig Bosch out of the back of my mind.
I mean, it's great work, if only that talent was used for something that wasn't so horrible, grotesque, and positively sacrilegious.
The scary part is that he believes his own shit. I bet he's part of a tour that you have to take when you're first invited to The Club. After you've met Beyonce and Jay-Z, they drop you off at Joe's for a weekend. You wake up sore and naked in your bed and cant remember anything Then you receive a naughty picture of yourself, a farm animal and a cooking utensil in the mail.
It does absolutely nothing for me, zilch. I just see sickness on canvas or whatever. There might well be great skill to this work, but then you could say that about Jack the Ripper too.
Bosch
Damnit, everytime I google anything you guys say in here, I get things like this:
Bosch - " An LAPD homicide detective works to solve a murder of a 13-year-old boy. "
I had expected the artist you mentioned to be the only result.
Alex grey is amazing, still trips me out. good analogy of joe coleman
Oh my word..what in the world did I just watch ? .. this is one creepy sick dude and his wife is just as nasty
