Love This! The Art of Cliches, Euphemisms, and Idioms

2/15/2012

 
I came across Robert Deyber's work in New American Paintings years ago, and it definitely stuck with me. I enjoy his paintings, but it's his clever interpretations of commonly-used figures of speech that really makes me smile. To get it, you just have to take a look (hint: it's ALL about the painting titles, listed below each image)...

Bad Hare Day, 48" x 48"

Doggy Bag, 30" x 30"

Light in the Loafers, 36" x 36"
Picture
The Silence of the Lambs, 24" x 36"
Picture
Call of the Wild, 24" x 48"
Picture
Bull Market, 36" x 48"
See? I also love the way that he takes it so seriously--he's got this funny idea and funny subject matter, yet he paints it extremely realistically, on a fairly large scale, and with very dramatic colors and composition. He's a clever one, that Mr. Deyber...

  You can see more of Deyber's work on his website, here, and as a sidenote for all my GA peeps--he lives in Kennesaw, GA! Cool!?

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
