    I have just come across these paintings in oil by Sky Black and I love these pieces I have seen, deeply rooted in the soil between Goya and Dali. These are “A Wakesm”, “Leaving”, “My Beautiful Friend”, “Say Yes”, “Sir Sympathy”, “Olympus”, and “The Offering”. These are surrealism of hard riddles and puzzles. Each of these is a cloud of stories from the folklore or mythology with a hard realities of contemporary life.

    Very unclassified prolepsis is “The Offering”. That presents combative combustion. “Sir Sympathy” is very comic. It follows the philosophy of accentuated metaphor for two-sided nature. Is this world haunted by the shadow of their indifferences? They represent an orgiastic Enlightenment. “Say Yes” is an inventory of everyday life that illustrates the nightmare of a day, the cerebral gravity of commitment. However, is the figure in the scene taken aback by one’s rudeness? “My Beautiful Friend” and ” Olympus” are colossal in debts. Those histories we cannot leave behind the wall. The fabrics of these pieces are very completed.

    Mikhail Romm (1901 – 1971), that outstanding Soviet film director, who created a number of cinematic masterpieces, marked in his “Reflecting On Myself” that “art should study man in his critical moments, in ‘borderline situations’, and that real art always sprang from a clash between the tragic and the ridiculous.” This is exactly where Black’s paintings are. Black has devoted himself without fear to explore and expose the dark sides of life. These are fulfilling plan of interests.

Christmas in the Share-house by Mandy Partridge

I spent fifteen years celebrating Christmas in share-houses around Brisbane, Australia. As a poor student, I rented rundown Queenslanders with two, three or four friends, so I could still afford food after rent and bills. I rode my bicycle to uni, work or the grocery shop

Panic Attack 2 by Romana Capek

Gray morning. The clouds did not lift as the forecast had predicted. I spent a sleepless night because I drank a cup of a strong black tea earlier in the evening. I look at my watch on the nightstand; it shows nine o’clock. I am cold and trying to get warm under a lightweight summer blanket.
