Abstract | ||||
Man has always derived many creative ideas and symbols from the cause of his existence in the world. The search for the truth of existence and its realization is an urgent desire, even if it is hidden behind the crowds of life, and the visual arts have had the effect of asking various questions about the nature of existence and how to represent it. Existence and other concepts associated with it, such as birth and death, so man collides with the idea of annihilation and nothingness; Feelings such as fear and desire are formed, each is the opposite of the other, but they represent historical stages and moments in human life, as well as his motives and judgments. The aesthetic judgment here was not limited to pleasure as a standard of taste and judgment, but the feelings of despair, pain, fear and alienation became a standard for beauty, so darkness and ugliness were no longer a scourge to evade Including the artist, but at other times he goes towards it and creates special aesthetics from it. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the ontological dimensions in the works of the artist Odd Narderem, through an interpretive approach that relies on the interpretation and interpretation of symbols in his artworks, with the aim of revealing other possibilities for meaning, according to the ambiguity that accompanies the symbols, as it does not reveal their meanings directly. | ||||
