Intellectual, symbolistic content of J.A.BRO's "Moloch-Life: The Screaming Scream": With 77+1+1
subjects "mouth", symbolizing "life and death in one". By studying the interesting variants of
J.A.BRO's artwork of inter-human relations and its reflection of cause and resulting effect
reaction, this monumental artwork is especially extraordinary and unique from it's outfit and
symbolical content. In impressive manner the visual, architectural construction of the artwork is a
tool reflecting the message of the content's symbolic: Despite human's genetic differences, the
life's "roundabout" is forcing each of them as an individual to become "plain-formation-mass"
dependent on forces of being tied upon seasonal life and death, cremated in a questionable society
system which is producing, as a logical reaction of cause and effect, negative forces in each
thinkable way with long-term effect for future generations. Human's history has taught that each of
its society systems has its border of tolerance - if this border isn't respected at all, the result
of cause and effect is: collapsing and disappearing. Out of each point of view a genuine, positive
society system and its culture is survivable only built on the neglect of hypocrisy,
irresponsibility, selfishness, lovelessness, non-equality, dishonesty and other negativism!
J.A.BRO's visual, architectural outfit and tool of intellectual, symbolical content of artwork
"Moloch-Life" exists in four parts as one part:
|
|
1.)
|
Part A & B are connected together in a right-angle.
|
|
2.)
|
The rows of subject "mouth", symbolizing the Homo sapien species, are designed after mathematical
law of perspective which is built into the given space after the law of architecture of
"room-department-connection".
|
|
3.)
|
Part "A" has 35 subjects "mouth" out of "liquid wood". Each subject "mouth" is "one of a kind"
because individually built on stabilizing nails in mouth-formation. The red color of the 35
subjects "mouth" is plain, supported only by light and its shadow to demonstrate their visible and
touchable two-dimensionality of relief-sculptures.
|
|
4.)
|
Part "B", connected with part "A", shows 42 subjects "mouth" painted in red paint, structural thick
brought on the hardboard in different shadows of the color. Each individual painted subject "mouth"
is covered, with help of this technique, with a net of graphic, called by the artist:
"Graphic-Painting".
|
|
5.)
|
The 7 rows of subjects "mouth", together 77 of individual created artworks on two connected parts,
are symbolizing a never ending way of life and death's "roundabout" without beginning and ending,
demonstrated with help of half part subjects "mouth", at the left-hand side of part "A", expecting
the viewers imagination of adding the other part leading onto a spiritual and mental path of
sub-consciousness of life.
|
|
6.)
|
The third part of this monumental, impressive artwork is representing a big red mouth, kept in the
same technique like part "B". It symbolizes human's concentration into a fixing point of an ocean
of uncountable individuals. This giant subject "mouth" leads to the fourth part, a monstrous
wide-open subject "mouth" visualizing.
|
|
7.)
|
This part four is the biggest of all. It is thought as a threat of total destruction if humans are
not prepared to take over the positive responsibility for their lives and surrounding in each
thinkable aspect. The formation of the red lines are demonstrating the wide opening of the
destructive subject "mouth" with its eternal lust of bringing the living creatures to death. The
seriousness of its deadly function is symbolized by a three-dimensional, large, red painted "drop
of blood" out of "liquid wood".
