Ultraviolence (at Walmart) by John Szabo

Ultraviolence (at Walmart)

24" x 30" oil on canvas
This painting was inspired by a comment George Carlin made on Howard Stern. It involved the tropical fish being sold right next to the handguns.

my daughter watched too as i had just told her how much this site means to me...and she couldn't help but be blown away too even tho she tries her darndest to not relate to the same things mom does and shows little sign of enthusiasm (she's 16)
but even she said "whoa"

John, you are a superb technician. I have always believed that the ability to draw is basic necessity to create any kind of art.
Creativity comes after acquiring technique to visually produce fantasy.
Nagyszeruen csinalod, tehetseged hatartalan...igy tovabb, es ne felj kihasznalni az ironikus fantaziadat!
7 months
Thank you so much Csaba. I wish I knew Hungarian! Can you translate that last part?
7 months
The translation as follows - You do it wonderfully, your talent is limitless...continue on and don't be afraid to take advantage of your ironic fantasy.
Do you get the symbolism in my piece: "Hungarian Rhapsody"
Were you not borne in Hungary?
7 months
I'm sure I don't fully understand all of the symbolism, but I think it has a lot to do with the overthrow of communism only to have another corrupt government take it's place. I wasn't born in Hungary - it was my grandfather. Some village very close to Bhudapest. I would love to hear more about your very interesting escapades. Thanks again for the inspirational words of encouragement!
7 months
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words...But, that is being too smug.
Fact is there were tons of adventures and one of the most important one was to have met my present wife and her 3 wonderful children. WE created a magazine together and had a ten month run of it in Keszthely, a city on Lake Balaton. Then came elections and City Hall fell to the "Right Wing" Fascists.
They told us to take a hike with our liberal and democratic thinking. Just one of the disappointments... But I do have an e-mail address if you want to continue communicating. usfive2@yahoo.ca

The fish...Ah the fish.
You may have noticed how I love using fish in my paintings and drawings as well. Could this be a Hungarian thing...since we have tyhe Danube cutting through our ancestral homeland or is it an unfulfilled wish to be returning to the Oceans?
7 months
I definitely feel that it's a desire to return to the oceans. I think that's where the future lies. Why look to the moon and outer space when there is 3/4 of the earth still untapped. I picture giant underwater cities.

Wow you really know how to make a statement!! and draw, wow, you are great!! I hope soon you will be able to do this all the time because you sure have the talent!!! Sincerely, Judy

Oh my gosh! What a painting! I was so excited looking at it. It felt like the day after Thanksgiving, and the doors are just opening. I personally have never been during that day, however, I work at the largest furniture store in North America, and on the Electronic side, we get the same type of excitement and stampede as Walmart. I love it!

Complimenti per questa complessa opera. IL significato è molto difficile da capire, ma è stato eseguito con maestria. UN saluto con 5* Lino Molena

Era basato su un'osservazione che un commediante George Carlin ha fatto di come Walmart ipocrita era mettere le pistole vicino al pesce tropicale. La violenza vicino alla placidità. Il tipo di marche che lei domanda. I ringraziamenti per le parole gentili.

g'day John , i love guns or should i say i did, but what they can do I TRUELY HATE.

When you say " I hate you!, Get out of my life!,
You shit me!, What are you looking at? Who do you think you are? What did you say, you called my wife fat?
Mate didn't you see the red light arshole?
You can say all of this so easily with a gun, you can say & mean a whole lot more then I can put into words.

BUT THE ONLY THING YOU CAN"T SAY IS SORRY
.. i didn't really mean it with a gun.

Guns so speak only one language... ! BANG!
the person on the trigger , could say all of this & more ,
I'm sorry!, I love you, sorry i didn't understand how you felt, I'm wrong. Lets be friends.

When you talk with a gun you can never take back your words when they're out... BANG! its to late.

A gun is a perfect design, it evolves to suite every posible need & circustance, it never sleeps & is always ready to do your will.
, It has no conscience, it can make you feel like a god, whilst you hold it in your hands & no one else has one.

It's power & adrenalin rubbed into a cast metal frame , when you fire it you really come alive =its an addiction.

When you reach out with it & touch someone you may change their world for generations to come.
I had many guns but only one twin! they touched my world in a very short sentence.. BANG, see you later .
NOTHING.......
they are as dangerous as the person on the trigger.
great piece. digger 5*'s

The inspiration for your excellent picture interests me. So you were 'triggered' by a remark about handguns being sold close to fishes. Adding to Cerebral Art sees you moving from fish-tanks to think-tanks!Seriously, I am impressed with your skill and enjoy your work. Respect and all the best.

I love the handling of the hard cold steel against the organic fish. Wonderful surreal work. Great overall texture, design and color. Bravo! Love it!
