Description
It is art that tells us a joke. The photograph here is a typical jester with arms outstretched perhaps showing us a folly or trick, his mouth laughing with perhaps an evil wicked grin to match. Considered by many viewers as a clown or comedian the bright blue graffiti style artwork looks like it belongs to an urban wall found in many cities. You would not be able to see such art on in a home or office interior yet the quality of this fool jumps put and begs for attention. Is the entertainer offering us comic respite? Is he laughing with us or at us?
The urban modern spray paints used to create this image combined with the skull and text scrawl are only matched in their vibrancy by the toned grains and textures of the corroded crumbling brick wall. The scrawls and scribbles of the letters appear alien to use, of no apparent literal translation. Yet who said that inner-city art needed to be able to be read.
Primary colors of blue, black, orange and white work well to give the art image a strong powerful and fashionable shine.
Everyone is accustomed with the previous artistic representations of the clown, the hat with bells seems at once familiar from horror movies to scary ghost stories, from murderers to comic entertainment, from court jesters of the Medieval times, and even part of popular culture such as the Batman films and comics the fool has always played a part in our society. This fresh art image from John D Williams titled Joker Laughs With You serves as a striking new and exciting interpretation of the legendary Jester. Performance acting is a folly not just restricted to those in the showbiz profession.
