When Abstract work is undeniably good it shows, and everyone agrees. This I think is one of those exmples. It shows alot of energy and emotion in the profile and form of it’s patterns and subject. It’s something that cannot be defined but can be regarded as excellent.
Well done
Andrew
butchart replied

lianne
So painful – so many analogies come to mind, the trapped bird, the caged animal, the concentration camp – to me a prisoner behind an electrified fence. At least in my experience it feels electrified. But it’s low volt sometimes, my darling man, and there are footholds to climb and I’ve discovered that if someone holds your hand, you can bear the shock. At least it seems to hurt less during the escape. Love you, Butch.
butchart replied
crawling out as we speak lianne…. love you…............b
Ariane

Sophie Shapiro
Caught in the Middle reminds me of a time when I went to Poland to research historical facts, concerning various concentration camps. It was a very difficult time in my life and extremely sad. This would have been an emotive photograph for the front cover B! You have captured the essence of human pain within this very, emotive and poignant illustration. It is time to reflect and ponder on the plight of many people, who have all been Caught in the Middle. Excellent work B! Thinking of you!Sx
butchart replied
sophie.. thank you so much for your commentary… and yes… sadly this is a fairly universal image right now…...... your insights continue to amaze me…......xox…....b

Joyce Dickens,...
Indeed, this is an emotional, distressed segment….perhaps trapped emotionaly, and not necessarily phyicaly…...we are all caught in the middle to some degree, until we are able to recognize the reality of our being…..this is really different for you b, but it just shows how versatile your talent is, and how great your compassion, and love of life…...hope you are well my friend!
Adam Stone
The comments here are so well deserved. What an incredible piece of art. What an incredible mind and talent you have Mr. B.
I have such a huge respect for you… You see the world through such inspiring eyes. This is a hauntingly lovable piece of art, an incredible achievement in visionary creativity. This has to be one of my favourite pieces seen here on redbubble thus far. I absolutely adore it.

juddarwin
apt. all reaches, impotent. i’m usually in the middle, but i don’t feel caught. i keep thinking of the nihilist shackled in the train (dr zhivago), shouting, I am the only free man; the rest of you are cattle, which thought goes out with a shot, then reccochets (if its more accurate than my spelling), back at him,
—juddarwin
love the pic; as blur as his position: and actually being in the middle
butchart replied
wow… what a thoughtful and intuitive comment… thank you so much…. i appreciate the time you have taken to view and think about my work…... and that you have given me something back to think about…..... peace and light…...b
