What?  Did someone GRAFFITI eBay?

Yes, they did! And they are still there!

TRUE STORY: There is a story of a man who puts his car out on the street with a for sale sign.  On the second day, a passerby stops and tells the man, HEY! That car was up for sale yesterday for $500 and today it’s $800? “You should have bought it yesterday”, replied the man.

YESTERDAY, you could have bought the print for less.  Today, we relisted Saber’s HC #7 of very small Limited-Edition of 13 on eBay store ForbiddenArtLA store.

Are we dancing with a Madman? By artist Eriberto Oriol

This is a series of paintings with social commentaries that speak of the rage of power and the screams of victims and invisible erased souls begging not to be forgotten.

“The Rage of Power” is one of the social commentaries paintings in the series “Dancing with a Madman” by artist Eriberto Oriol.

When I first saw this painting it made me think of the main character’s rage and how women have…

Are you ahead of your time? (detail photos and additional info)

Lisa Lyon was ahead of her time.  Back in the day, she was at the forefront of female bodybuilding.   She was described as the “Michelangelo’s David. ”

In this painting, Lisa Lyon is both male and female, because she had to use all that was within her to cope with the challenges that she faced.  Lisa also had an MRI done to make sure there was not something physically wrong because, at times like these, you start to question your own sanity.

As an artist, because Lisa saw the world in a different light where she did imagine the un-imaginable and followed her path to the unknown.  She was competing in a man’s world in a field where women bodybuilding did not exist.

When you are in the forefront, you have to use fear and the underworld guardians to energize you. You have to act on instinct, have tenacity, spontaneity, and use the genius of the human spirit to find the treasures and “Save the prince.”

Eriberto was Lisa Lyon’s personal assistant for some time and has exclusive photos of her. This painting is based on one of those photos.

Imagination, is it Madness?

 The painting “Into the Night,” seems to be a psychological journey of the human condition.

 They say that some of the most powerful works of art emerge from the artist’s darkest moments and when an artist is pushing the envelope; for some, the work may appear to be shocking.  

 Eriberto’s work has a unique artistic vocabulary. His characters seemed to be looking with curiosity and seem to be haunting moments of human life and in a sort of apocalyptic flare showing the basic fears encountered by most people.  

There is a certain kind of freedom that comes from madness.  With civilization come the rules and regulations.  Who is really free? Who are the normal people; those who are free to act on their instincts and desires; or those who are ruled by regulations and expectations?

As an artist, Eriberto Oriol, is not interested in following the rules and schools of art.  He feels that humanity has been bestowed with great gifts; perhaps the greatest of them all is imagination because it has the power to change the world.

 Some say, “Where there is light, there is a dream.”  For an artist, sustainability through their art is the Dream.
