A Further Explanation of Terrible People By Jaymie Metz
The world is full of terrible people, so many terrible people out to get you in whatever way they can. Jaymie Metz created a series of artworks named Terrible People that is inspired by the behavior of what we have determined as leaders. The only concern for the people that they lead is how to control your minds with the power that is so eagerly abused. They come in and tell lies, pretend to be “one of you” so they can gain your trust only to violate you over and over again, all the while you believe they are helping you. They lie, steal and cheat out of habit, it’s the only way they know how to exist. It’s as if their only redeeming quality is to show us how easily we are dipped into thinking that they are “one of us, for the people.”
The flat depiction of humans in the Terrible People Series is representative of the two-dimensional personalities that are presented to us as powerful people, but in actuality are hiding the real details of who they are. Background imagery consisting of random objects, plant and animal life is indicative of a fabricated world that appears as real because we have chosen to believe in it rather than question it. The minimalism of the over all body of art work is a perception a simple life hat is also filled with color and emotions. The chaotic nature of the artworks amounts to the ever shortening attention spans of people as time goes on. The use of bright color institutes all the multiple bombardments of today’s society by the corporations, marketing what they call an American Dream, with no evidence to support that claim what so ever. Terrible pPeople all over the world.
