A Calm Disquiet

Wow Paul what an amazing surreal image. So much to ponder in this image. I love the narrative quality. I know that I will visit this image again. Powerful, provocative work for both the mind and the heart. Anthea

Brilliant narrative as always Mr V!

For some very wierd and strange reason – this made me smile this morning. I am getting slightly worried about my mental state now :)

Now I know her stole my car !!!
Great shot Paul
Rock

Should read Who Stole MY Car

this scares the hell out of me. what a bizarre and compelling photo. nice one Paul.

Carrreepy. Smart cookie.

here’s trouble, eh

Your mind is a wondrous place Paul…..what an image!!!

Omigod, like a repressed memory come to life!! Or an alternate reality… Or a still from a rediscovered art house film… WoW Paul!! I keep going back to look again and again. What an absolutely fascinating dynamic between the two characters and such attitude in their poses. LOVE the setting and treatment as well… just perfect! Still & always blowing my mind Paul!! thank you for that ;))
I already want to see more of this story, much more…

tre`s bizarro!! something out the badlands with a twist!

the proverbial generational/cultural gap… so close but worlds apart.. never really seeing the true faces of one another…...... brilliant work my friend…..... your stories always leave me thinking and wanting more….......b

This is bizar and creepy, I’m wondering wich story is behind this…
An old schoolplace , the perfect hidingplace for these two strange characters, they seem to just have jacked this car… Your lighting comes trough the image, even when it is raining… Well done Paul ! hugs, anna

Love her impatience and his dorky stance….......
Classic Paul, excellent reflections too and the brickwork has come up a treat…
Her blue eyeshadow brings back memories, those masks rock….

Bert Newton… (shudder)

cool. has that b-grade horror movie from the early 80’s feel…... in the best possible way!

That’s…. disturbing. Good job.

Oh my god. I like this for various reasons – even though the faces are a bit scary! The texture is great, the colour, the location, the wet weather. Very creative!

Quite intriguing… Very much a calm disquiet…

creepy and yet somehow still cute…

in turn amazed and terrified

outstanding image and so disturbing

brilliantly executed, and the sense of unease is awesome

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss ♥

What’s he (or she) going to do with that ball? Wonderful title, cracking shot.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxo

yes, i too must jump on the disturbing bandwagon and say there is something twisted about this. i think it comes down to which side of the fence you sit in reference to clowns. either they haunt your dreams, or delight the child within. anyway, top shelf image. cheers.

Very odd and surreal! Love it!

freaky

There’s just something about masks and the hidden identity that make the hairs stand up, great imagery Paul!

Love your mind Paul, creepy!

Wow – fantastic title! What an image, my mind boggles. Just love this.

Surreal and funny yet creepy.

disquiet

Wow Paul, what’s going on here? Intriguing story…..the scenarios going through my head are a little disturbing…..

hmmmmmm…... xoxox

there is a photographer by the name of Ofer Wolberger who created a series of a doll like character by using his girlfriend, very surreal. Your work though adds a new dimension, it creates this incredible narrative which I find fascinating. Well done PV you never cease to amaze me with your creativity.

hehehe – very Stephen King-ish!!

this. fracken. rocks. period
!!!

another classic!

I find this a little disconcerting, there is something quite menacing about that boy.

what can I say…everything works so well here, funny and creepy. Love it!!!

“A boy’s best friend is his mother” Norman Bates :)

There are so many things wrong with this image, except that it is strangely fantastic.. Dude, what are you smoking? Send me some

Now if Diane Arbus was still with us and shooting her subjects in colour…...

Paulie, if you don’t get back in the car NOW…..!!!!!!

Always enjoy the masks in your work.. but this time…living in the suburbs of New York… I feel like I know this family.! Are they from Westchester by any chance?..hehe. :) – I love this Paul… It makes me think of the societal pressures and false faces that we come into contact with on a daily basis… all warped intentions and greed.

am really into the whole mask thing…

this is great Paul! great composition and undertaking… love the humour.

Excellent Paul, You have a talent for this kind of art my friend.

hehe, i’m calmly disquieted by this image… great art guys!!

Almost creepy… great stuff!

outstanding Paul

Do we hide under masks Paul to conceal our true self.?.......Maybe sometimes masks hide our inner desires and fears until one day we bravely remove them free from judgement and allow the world to see us as we see ourselves…......Feels like a edgy tension in this work and as always any work you are involved with is produced with great attention to the conceptual elements…..
Funny but the building and car park look familiar to me….

He ..he ….that is really good

That’s disturbing LOL Reminds me of something I just can’t put my finger on….love it !

Cool shot! ;)

Bobbed back for another look. I think I’d just run away.

This is very cool great work. WOW

discomfort, disquiet, disconnection…discovery…more questions than answers in this one for me..man, this piece just screams Australian post-modernist art… Interesting and compelling work Paul!

That’s scarier than a Zombie coming after you.
