Evolving Art, ad infinitum

 Evolving Art, Ad Infinitum 

“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, 

  he would cease to be an artist.” Oscar Wilde.

Art works, verses and lines by Dr Abe V Rotor 

Splash Painting

Who needs brush and canvas?

Only colors, if you must.

On the floor, just splash, splash,

to create stained glass! 

Noah's Black Dove 

I found a fossil entombed,

of a story in driftwood. 

  

Duck Head  Figurine

 

Once hunted on water and in air,

now figurine, a grim reminder.   

 

Broken Jar Alive

A lease for life indeed

through art we bid;

talent put to the test

at its very best.

 

Driftwood trophy

Why gold or silver a trophy:

why not remnant of a tree,

shells forgotten and empty,

to wake us up to reality?

 

 

Driftwood Table Decor

Wasteland in the hall,

a dreaded scene,

aftermath of the Fall, 

of man's first Sin. ~

Genetically "Mutilated" Organisms (GMO) 

Seventh day onward, 

man takes over creation,

plays God himself,

in his own notion.

Specimen-and-Art-in-One

Art gallery and science laboratory, 

the right and the left brain in unity. 

 
Indigenous chandelier, made of coconut shell 

and cherry thorns wards off evil spirits.

Against evil spirits, old folks warn,

at the doorway and window as ploy,

hang an amulet, plant a totem toy;

forewarned is forearmed.

Bottle Flower Vase

Candle handle, other than flower vase,

crafted bottle, covered with marbles,

punched paper and plastic glued around,

artwork for school saved from waste. 

Home, Sweet Home Memorabilia

Welcome memories of Home, Sweet Home,

       that live forever like a myth,

stones of childhood built into a throne,

       enshrined in a mini monolith. 

Miniature stone monument cum receptacle 

Aesthetics and function of artwork, unlimited;

work of artist and craftsman, beauty and need.

Crown of Thorns with Rosary Beads

Thorns tamed, their tips shielded,

with beads of rosary worn with age;

symbolic of hardship and danger,

faith and will and God message. ~
