đź§µ Art Thread!

Wanted to share some of my old drawings, and after browsing through my archives, I felt inspired to reinterprit/refine some of them. I'm enjoying this process so far, so I plan to extend this thread on occasion! More info per piece in the alt text

Imagine having your essence split across decades and borders. Interesting at the time, perhaps, from a scientific perspective. But for the soul? It is a cruel experiment.

The sequins were just there to hide the stitches. 🧵🪡

We didn’t choose to disappear.
We were taught to survive by vanishing.

Bolin shows us what 28 Years Later barely whispers:
🧍 Collapse isn’t loud.
👻 It’s quiet.
🔍 And if you don’t look closely,
you’ll miss who disappeared.

That’s been Afternoon Art Critic.
See you in the margins.

đź§µ Afternoon Art Critic: Liu Bolin x 28 Years Later

with your resident non-artist, non-critic

Today’s featured artist: Liu Bolin, the “invisible man.”
He paints himself into the world—vanishing into propaganda, commerce, cities, myths.

🎬 Sound: 28 Years Later (a slow apocalypse and a coming-of-age story camouflaged inside it)
🍹 Sip: Cuba Libre (because collapse tastes better with lime)

Let’s disappear together. 🎨

Untitled (Skull) – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1981)
A splash of dissonance for a world still pretending harmony.
The skull cracks. Identity unravels.
Society’s chaos, raw and screaming in color.

For the sip: straight Fernet. Bitter. Minty. Sweet. Unapologetically herbal. It’s what I’d pour Da Vinci if he walked into the bar—part tonic, part dare.

Let’s get into it.🧵

in today’s edition of afternoon art critic from your resident non artist, we’re diving into vincent van gogh via six paintings. as always, we start with sound + sip.
listening: gingerbee (first listen). past the opener “petal dance,” they ping from elevator music → heavy metal → light jazz — and somehow it holds.
