The one on the right is a Rubenesque red-headed (and we all know what THAT means...) curvy little goddess with a certain je ne sais quoit voluptuousness about her. Her form is very curvy and seems vagely familiar, strangely Klimt-like in her appearance. Very similar, in fact to many of the forms found in the KLIMT: THE ARTIST calendar that Pandora got for Christmas. It's almost as though the perpetrator was suffering from a lack of opportunity to artistically express themselves and had suddently had found a new canvas upon which to convey their artistic creativity, like the grafitti artist/ tagger who has found a new freshly painted wall in an underpass.
The second figure is a little more tongue in cheek, figurately speaking of course, with hints of surrealism shining through. The proportions are familiar to some of my own recent pieces of work; slightly comic yet without a comic intent. One leg is thicker than the other, one arm slightly longer than the other and generally with disporportionate body parts. The striking feature about this naked lady, however, is her distinct lack of curves, almost as though the transgressor hadn't found the CURVE line function within the software. She has no waist and any area where one would expect to see curves is filled with straight lines and right angles. Breasts, hips, lips, jawline, knees, elbows and shoulders have all been drawn as if with a ruler and an engineered-like precision. The only exception to this is the woman's left armpit from which springs a solitary armpit hair with a curl resembling that of a pig's tail a la Rolf Harris . This figurine doesn't convey the same "creative venting" as the other figure. If anything, it comes across more as a statement of idleness or "I've finished my splicing, now I shall draw naked ladies" kind of approach.
Jointly, the images are within a single document which suggests there must have been an element of collusion and coordination between the culprints, ie. this is my half and this is your half.
I cannot begin to imagine who would have commited such this crime, Pandora was busy reading (albeit she had complained that there were no nicely girly books onboard, only Alistair Macleans and the like).
Toby had finished his recent splicing task and was acting as watch leader, bosun, cook and general dog's body while Skipper slept.
We believe that a full investigation is required. interim findings will be reported back at um, the interim.
AMOK out.
