// "Unbearable" by Allen Williams Art. (@i_justdraw) This speaks to me of the solitude of sacrifice and endurance. Strength moving through suffering like a great ship through a burning sea. There is tremendous power and solidity emerging from the ineffably subtle touch of this artist. I think the eloquence of this piece may be rooted partly in that contrast, a tension between subject and technique. And wherein lies the power? The flesh is vulnerable to dissolution, spiked with arrows, yet informed with an indomitable, numinous presence. Is this threat or warning or injunction to endure? Doom manifest? What of that circle, like a sunken halo? The Allen Williams works that inspire me are legion, and some are even more wonderfully strange, but this one, in this moment, says to me, “Prevail.” I feel the small wrinkles disappearing into the deep shadow of the face. I remind myself to move forward. Here is the last line of the extraordinary narrative that Williams presents with this piece: “…and they shall be made to see the last thing.” With that, Kind Friends, I end this day’s exploration of wonders. ... 😁Thanks very much to this month's Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @forestrogers ...
