InSAnity – All the madmen
In this composition I am trying to pose the question of what sanity means to the observer. Sane or insane, Genius or madman, where do we draw the line? The answer my friend is what is deemed to be within acceptable limits by the masses. What classifies one man sane and another man to be as insane? What are the reasons for the extremities in human behaviour that go beyond the limits of behavioural acceptance? What makes our logical thought deviate from the norm? Addiction, depression, suppression, confusion, delusion, perversion or what? Is it a just a simple case of a chemical imbalance in the brain? The inspiration for the composition is based on a song by David Bowie which is a track featured on ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ album released 1971, called ‘All the Madmen’. Track can be heard here [link] Lyrics can be found here [link] A Brief Explanation of the Artwork. The figure represents the constraints and limitations of our sanity, suppressed in the confines of acceptability. While the tiny butterfly lost in the darkness represents the total freedom of thought of our limitless imagination.

For this project all of the band names and CD titles that will be used in this project will be totally fictitious. With this piece of artwork I have used the same design criteria that I have been using for this ‘CD Cover Design’ project. |

 reports, 1d 20h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

A Great concept for the Art Group. I would join if I had more time on my hands.
Madness is only an extreme state of emotion; it is just where do you draw the line? Where dose sanity end and insanity begin?
