Description
And so I stood Facing The Unmasked. Once upon a time, this person had a different outward appearance. Following the election of 2016, the mask slipped away and the person became ugly and hateful. Prior to that fateful election, many people kept their petty hatreds carefully guarded. Once an openly bigoted and hateful person assumed the roll of leadership, the number of masks falling away was astounding to behold. Everywhere I looked I witnessed The Unmasked. The bile coming from their mouths was a direct reflection of the ugliness no longer kept within. At first, I walked away from these encounters with sad bewilderment written all over my face. Soon, I discovered the same sad bewilderment in others. I was not the only one Facing The Unmasked.

Your entire gallery is coming to reality before our eyes with each passing day...And it is terrible to behold. I can only hope for more from you to bring to the forefront the terrible dark times we find upon us. The evil has always been hidden just below the surface and now it is fully upon us...something that cannot be swept away....Keep these disturbing images coming! FAVORITE! Like Randy, Love it!

Gee, I really think this work, along with the description, is your most powerful pieces John. I really do. Instantly I felt what you wrote and knew the meaning and so many other suggestions this view brings. Just love this. LOVE it. And those ongoing stairs and shadows. You nailed a lot of things past and present.

Thank you so much for the kind words of support Randy. Really happy that the image turned out. The concept sat in my mind for a very, VERY long time before I was able to present it visually.

JOHN: "Once an openly bigoted and hateful person assumed the roll of leadership, the number of masks falling away was astounding to behold." --- Indeed -The Rise and Rise of Trump from his Evil Smelling Swamp was truly astounding - and most perplexing that it could have happened at all in the USA ! - However, it must be said that that has often happened before and throughout history (Hitler being the most repugnant and evil). - The only difference from the past and the present is that we are now aware of it via a computerized 24/7 news world ! - As usual John, Great, Great Art in shining an exposing precision laser light on the dark side of our human nature ! -
