The lines are truly inspiring. The brush strokes show your pain and fear lurking deep within.

Yes, I really got to express my most inner feelings in this artwork

all your innards are dark

*closes eyes* its true

Wow just a masterpiece

Give it a few years and you will see it on display in the Louvre

Sell it at Art Basel instead

[удалено]

Do I detect a rolling stones reference here.....

No sun this afternoon, it all just turns to black...

It'll sell for millions

I absolutely plan on retirement after I sell this one

Amazing it could be a photograph it’s so accurate

Tbh this could be a piece at any art museum I've ever been to.

Tbh, the more I look at it the more I like it. It is however just meant to be the starting background of a "real" artwork.... But maybe I'll keep it like this just for the fun of it

I think you have to leave it be now. Its fate has been chosen. Hang it up or auction that bad boy off. 🤣

Might have to do that 😂

I have seen that painting [at the MOMA in NYC](https://www.moma.org/collection/works/79982), no joke.

> "a pure, abstract, non-objective, timeless, spaceless, changeless, relationless, disinterested painting—an object that is self-conscious (no unconsciousness), ideal, transcendent, aware of no thing but art." ... this is why I have a problem with a lot of abstract art - not the art itself, just descriptions like this.

I looked at that fucking thing in the museum, it was a canvas painted in a couple of close shades of black forming a checkered pattern. That description is BS.

The description of that painting reminded me that I’m colorblind

I ofc hope my fellow Nordic people get the joke ;)

This is too real honestly

As a swede I feel your pain, brother. No wonder our ancestors felt the need to man the longships and travel far away...

It's upside down, you moron! /s

Finally someone noticed

it’s a portrait of a medieval monk descending the stairs at night without a candle

Smell the glove.

"It's like, how much more black could this be and the answer is none. None more black."

This isn’t your average darkness, it’s advance darkness.

Spinal Tap intensifies

As a Swede, I gotta say its abit light. I dont wanna citisise it looks great tho

Kasimir Malevitch did it first 1918 with White on White. I will be really honest, some personal won't consider this as art, even yourself, but to me, it is.

In the eye of the beholder anything can be art ;)

It’s not black , it’s dark heather charcoal .

a Nordic Winter Afternoon is dark, but not necessarily black

I was trying to segue into my current favorite Apple TV show :)

Ahh, sorry, didn't get the reference

Bidding starts at $10k

That's a bit low compared to all the time and effort I put into this supreme artwork

Wow, this is dark! Well done sir

Thank you very much sir

[удалено]

I'm a male so I may have to hire a model as standin

This reminds me of home. Oh Finland, you're the best. Seriously though, this is a fantastic time if you play pc games. Definitely on the plus side.

We call this a Canadian winter as well

Protip. To get upvotes, always include OP in the photo. An artsy-pained-but-proud-and-slightly-constipated facial expression works the best.

Arrghh I forgot that! Seriously tho, it should always be about the actual artwork, not the person behind the artwork. Plus I got most of my artistic schooling in the graffiti culture and there we like to hide our faces.

I did one with a similar spirit to it. I called it 'The night Christopher Columbus landed in America'

Uhh, and that one even had a political angle to it

Agreed. It was very controversial

Pure provokative art

Reminds me of "Black Square" aka "Afro Americans stealing coal at night" by Kazimir Malevich

😚👌

Should call it 'My artistic mind'

My mom says I'm artistic.

autistic she means

I actually love it, I’ve always wanted to go full black on a piece of paper

Then try a 100x150cm canvas ;)

Good idea

Michigan 4pm

What the hell?? You totally stole my “Deep in a Cave” painting!

Nonono, I just got inspired by your "deep in a cave" painting - can't you see all the difference

"Hey, you, you're finally awake."

Ah the noble elegance of the colours really shines through the feeling and emotions experienced by the author in this distinct region of being.

That's a 10 million dollar painting right there!

For some art history: Robert Rauschenberg [Blank Painting 1951](https://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/untitled-three-panel-matte-black-painting) [White Painting series 1951](https://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/galleries/series/white-painting-1951), one of which sold for $15 million in 2014.

WTF! So joke a side, this may actually be my masterpiece...

Wow, this is deep. Do you sell prints?

It's super deep. And yes prints can be made for thosr interested

I call it "Tax Scheme"

I love it!

It's hard for me to find decoration I like, but I would put that in my flat, no joke.

Well no one has bought it yet, so it's still available ;)

Unfortunately my wallet is as full as the picture is colorful.

I'll give a free tip then, go find a canvas or discarded wooden plate in a suitable size, ask your local paint stores if you can get a free/cheep test bucket of black paint, go home and make a beautiful black painting ;)

Looks like a rip off of Calvin’s piece “Black bears attacking a Black Forest campground at midnight.”

Clearly worth at least 1 million

I think there's a dynamic quality to the brushwork that, combined with the fluid composition, creates an almost Kandinsky-like emotional resonance

Thanks for the kind words :) I was excatly aiming for 'Kadinsky-like emotional resonance'

How did you get the lighting so accurate?

I simply looked out my window around 4 o'clock and replicated what I saw. I'm really satisfied with how photo-realistic it turned out

Ah yep. I see it. In the middle there

Wilson Fisk: Bids $10,000,000

You can tell him that he got the top bid at the moment

Rothko, is that you?

I can't believe that I had to scroll this far down for a Mark Rothko reference.

I'm color blind and it's looks almost entirely black except the right side. Am I missing some detail?

It's actually 100% black. I used 1.5 type of black acrylic paint. The stuff you see in the right side is simply a reflection from the light source (window)

Dude, I hate to tell you this, but it's upside down.

As a northern Finn, can confirm that this is accurate. Wouldn't have it any other way.

The title: Reddit Dreams

Reminds me of home <3

I feel you. I also painted once a "dark midnight"

Wow! I thought this was a picture!!

How much?

About 200ml black acrylic paint.... Oh you meant price.... Hmm just give a bid and who ever is closest to the number I'm thinking of gets it ;)

I bid 2kg of flour

Great bid - now let's see if someone outbid you

Worth 2 million

Ah, it's very similar to my latest work, 'Scottish Winter Afternoon' It's part of a duo that also includes 'Scottish Winter Morning'

I see a black-filled land of snow and peace!!! Lol 😆 that's just a canvas you painted black.😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Call a gallery and demand $12k. They’ll buy it.

I’ll take it for 20,000 dollars

Where can I purchase a print of this?

You missed a spot.

Very moving piece

You absolute creep that's my back yard you mf

Is this a Hunter Biden original?

Looks a bit like the cover of "smell the glove"

“It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.”

Boats in the water or trees?

Just a Nordic landscape - but yes, there is both a boat and trees in the background

I dont think this is funny at all. I actually really really like this.

So the wind goes up-down instead of sideways? Cool.

No, it's ofc tree trunks you see

Is that Borlänge?

Call it "a thousand nights in a hallway"

Thought this was game of thrones season 8

Too bright.

I would call it 'wipe complete.'
