Pilgrims Path

very poetic
love the city on fire

Great work again!

An incredible piece!! Wonderful colour and composition, a real bleakness to it

Very symbolic! All burden seem to be on his shoulder. The color rendering also creates very strong drama. The drawing is so accurate. Just wonderful work!

Fantastic work well done !

Fantastic image. Great tones and subtle lighting. The figure with the rock is so well done, I can almost feel the weight he is carrying. Wondeful work.

wow…this is a masterpiece…so symbolic and masterfully done!

this is a really powerful image. love it :)

Love it !

your work is reminiscent of Odd Nerdrum’s – if only becaiuse both of you combine a modern sensibility with an Old Master’s touch… However, your work is uniquely your own… Phenomenal stuff – I have really enjoyed looking though your portfolio…

You’ve captured many feelings I have experienced through this piece. Do you mind elaborating on this on your own words? I’d love to hear your inspiration if you have the time…

wow amazing

This is compelling. I’m drawn to this image as I can see myself in the naked man. Shouldering things that I shouldn’t. Stooped over so as not to see the world. Meanwhile what we carry is on fire for lack of care. So often we focus on the wrong things. I shall come back to this image.

amazing! i am speechless

Says so much, reminds me of some medieval European art….Well painted. Is it oil, acrylic or digital…

Thanks Paul. It’s oil.

fantastic and deep work

Great depiction of the eternal struggle facing the pilgrim any time any where

this is brilliant kain – i love the textural highlights throughout your work.

quite nice, enjoy your gallery…you have a very unique style

dark but very, very beautiful work

I love this piece as I love what it reminds me of, “the myth of sysiphus”. There is a story here. a philosophy. awesome!

It certainly is. Glad to hear you are reading Camus, not that I am some freakish acalyte, but he is an amazing man, was techinically, but his philosophy lives on. He was an outsider himself. The French existentialists ignored him, Sartre berated and discredited him but despite this, he remained true to him self, I respect that, a true rebel. Which is a book of his you should read at some stage, The Rebel. You should adapt Camus, that would be amazing. I am not sure if it is going to happen again this year, but keep your ears out for the Camus festival, a group of performers put on The Fall, The Outsider and The Plague, another great offering from the Melbourne art scene. Take care Kain.

great work

I think you must have been around a few lifetimes, your work has that complex, rich feel to it even when the actual imagery is a simple compostion.You have a gift.

This almost reminds me of something Goya might have done.

this portrays so much depth
awesome piece
that delievers a knockout punch to you
gifted you be
keep up the work

I feel like i know this image, but havent commented on it? Y!.
I can see this man in every one i know.
Carrying the weight of the world around, pitying ourselves, instead of dropping the weight we trudge on endlessly. Thought provoking ! i love it
I’ll buy this piece :) one day :)

Congrats on the HomePage Kain! I’m happy to have had another look at this one, I had forgotten how beautiful, how powerful this painting is…love it!

Powerful image! Congrats on homepage feature!

A picture worth a thousand words!

Very impressive and love how it tells a story.

amazing ..love it!!

You betcha, HomePage!

Yes, yes, like the message you put across in this . Great painting.

There is so much being said here; both the up-front stories and the back, silent stories.
I could look at it over and over and each time find something else to feel according to the prevailing emotion of that viewing. I am not an art critic but this seems to me museum-worthy. For sure…
peace,
Sass

My heart has sunk.
