藝術家－瑪莉蓮曼森Marilyn Manson

我們所知道的瑪莉蓮曼森是樂團名稱；是個歌手；我們不知道的瑪莉蓮曼森還是一個藝術家。

這裡提到的曼森就是歌手曼森，其畫作令我感到興奮驚奇並且回味無窮

＊本文可能造成閱讀者不適，請自行斟酌閱讀

色調運用鮮明，選材大膽卻精細，如同我在研究他的文章之中發現了他…

勇敢、有見解、特別的、諳深謀、思遠慮、善盤算、優秀的評論家與觀察者。

完全明白為何有人高價收藏，雖然曼森本人不以為意…想若是我親眼見到他的畫作應該也會非常愉快！

現在就來看看幾幅吸引我眼球並且使我悸動，我喜愛的作品

《Liar》

Marilyn Manson
WATER COLOR, PAINTED

有趣的作品，比起有意思我想「有趣」更接近我的看法，我很喜歡曼森對色彩陰影的表達。高一致性，高級的出采

《Trismegistus》3 HEADED JESUS

Marilyn Manson

據說是創作在一塊棺材木板上，真實無否不得知

這幅作品非常精細，單就三頭耶穌的額部、面頰光影就超級認真

《 Die Deutsche Kampferin 》

Marilyn Manson
1999
40"x60"
WATER COLOR, PAINTED
Galerie Brigitte Schenk

MM: "The name comes from what I believe was a women's magazine during the Third Reich that was kind of like the Cosmopolitan of propaganda, and it was about being a strong woman for Germany. That painting was sarcastic. I started painting it right when I came home from the Magic Castle, because I'm a member there, and I wanted to do something that tied in '30s Hollywood and Berlin, and Charlie Chaplin was definitely an inspiration.

"I thought the flowers in the background were a cross between columbines, which some people don't know are flowers, and palm trees. It was also around the time of the Columbine event, which I was blamed for. It's so ironic now that the movie, Bowling For Columbine, has made people see how ridiculously the media treated the whole thing now. People don't realize how it almost completely destroyed my career. My life was at risk, and I basically wanted to give up. It's great that I've kind of come full circle."

又是一幅諷刺創作，特點做得很好、色彩運用沒話說

如果是我，會它命名為《我靠左》當然我沒有命名權，喔我是說它真的靠左；難道你認為希特勒是右翼嗎？

《Skoptic Syndrome (Jack) 》

Marilyn Manson
2001
30"x22"
WATER COLOR, PAINTED

有一個時期曼森有非常大量裸身的人型創作…不難發現幾乎都是裸身的人們

觀察人們似乎是他的興趣之一，如同他原來的音樂評論者工作…察覺一些什麼確是他的專長

《Easter Sunday》

Marilyn Manson
WATER COLOR, PAINTED

MM: "This one is a few years old. It's an Easter painting, a holiday item. She has six fingers, which I also had on the cover of Mechanical Animals. It's a reference to Seraphim, a religious reference. Angels were said to have six fingers on one hand."

某個easter復活節的早晨。我很有興趣知道他的腦海裡跑過了些什麼？有著兔子耳朵六隻手指的？或者我需要來點苦艾酒？

《You're sure you will be comfortable?》

Marilyn Manson
WATER COLOR, PAINTED
Courtesy Galerie Brigitte Schenk, Köln/Kunsthalle Wien/.

我想起曼森出席某公眾場合時一同出現於鏡頭前奇妙的、戴面具卻露出私處的女伴。

那篇報導有趣的是當他們下車時，畫面不斷的拍攝著女子奇異的「服裝」…而曼森似乎正在揉眼睛或者意圖遮住臉？

《Lily White》

Marilyn Manson
30"x22"
WATER COLOR, PAINTED

MM: "This is something I did the day I got my kitten. If you've been on my web site, you know she is quite famous. She couldn't be here tonight. She's a real bitch. I love her, actually. She's got more tits than my girlfriend. I can't say they're better, there's just more of them."

曼森的愛貓，那是一隻擁有大量粉絲的捲毛白貓，來自他與前妻蒂塔的禮物，確實是非常可愛的小貓。

曼森作品中的的陰影是我見過的創作中處理得很優秀的一位！

《'Don't look at me that way, I'm trying to concentrate》

Marilyn Manson
30"x22"
watercolor, absinthe

曼森有許多創作材料與苦艾酒有關…苦艾酒是他最愛的酒品！而創作時畫筆不小心攪進酒杯似乎是經常發生的事，所以總是能如此熟悉它的顏色

苦艾酒同時也是梵谷、畢卡索、海明威、王爾德的最愛。被稱為綠精靈、綠仙子、綠色謬思、綠色魔鬼

《Hand of glory》

Marilyn Manson
30"x22"
watercolor

Here's what MM said about the painting:

"There is a fine line between being childish or holding onto your childish imagination in just the right way. This painting has a bit of that. It was never meant to be a portrait of myself but a symbol of the sadness of sometimes not being able to do what you want to do."

And from another source:

"This painting's actually of a girl but everyone thinks it's a boy. It's part of a short story I wrote about a girl and her hand being taken away from her. It kind of goes along with superstitions from voodoo and witchcraft about taking someone's hand and getting power from it. I thought that piece was good to represent the whole show because it represents my approach to all art by doing things in a childish way, and it's about how people often want to take away that element and try to make you grow up or play by the rules. There's a difference between being immature and being childish, and I don't mind being childish, because there's something beautiful about the way kids are fearless. That picture's really about innocence and the sadness at its being taken away."

《Death Enjoys the Fruits of His Labor》

Marilyn Manson
30"x22"
watercolor

嗯，讓我沉浸的、安靜的、異趣。我想那是合理的however我認為有些悲傷

《When I get old I Would Like a Drink》

Marilyn Manson
2002
30"x22"
watercolor and absinthe

MM: "I have a photo of William Burroughs hanging in my hallway that looks a bit like that. I looked at it one day and thought, 'If I could do all the things that he did and still look like that when I get old, I'd be real happy.' So when I was painting it, I was drinking absinthe, which I often do, and I dipped a brush in the wrong bowl, in my drink, and that's when I discovered what a great stain absinthe makes on the paper."
