Thank you for noticing. I forgot the title, and just updated it.
Often words block the reality of whatever it is we’re looking at. I could never name all the special hues and shades of red in the cat, so the title is a reference to how human potential and understanding can be retarded by the illusion of words. As Alan Watts wrote, and I paraphrase, “When we say ‘this is a man’, pointing to a man, what we actually are saying is this is the sound man when I point at this thing. Words hinder meaning and are never enough to ‘show’ a thing as it is. As symbolization they help us communicate and navigate our way through the world.
You asked for meaning behind the “red” one. I’ll say the sound “Hell Cat” and name the 38 reddish colors:)
When I’m not painting, I like to read up on “Eastern” philosophy.
Thank you!
