It’s been a while since we really heard from funny-man [easyazon_link identifier=”B000SW2EVI” locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Jim Carrey[/easyazon_link] and there might be a reason why. Lately it seems like he’s been pursuing a personal journey as he tries to find color in his life and express it in a way that makes him happy and conveys to others this same feeling. One might believe that his role as an epic and surely legendary comedian might be enough to make him believe that he has touched us all in way that cannot be replicated, but the inner journey of each individual is something that has to be experienced on their own. It is indeed interesting to watch this clip as you can see the personal struggle that Jim has undoubtedly gone through at least in some small part, but trying to equate the figure that has made so many laugh with the man that is now so deeply introspective is a little difficult, but enlightening.
Even the funniest people in the world are fighting battles we know nothing about. It is important to understand them in their darkest times as much as it is in their brightest.
[easyazon_link identifier=”B002SGYPS2″ locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Jim Carrey[/easyazon_link] is an amazingly talented artist.
As a child he admits that he would constantly sketch when he had a free moment. Being sent to his room was more like heaven than punishment simply because he desired the isolation that this brought. This allowed him to bring forth the images that appeared in his head, the imagination that was waiting to flow onto the page. While he’s not among those that dream of the more fantastical landscapes and creatures he is all about energy and the perspective of himself and others that drives his work. His pieces are far more introspective and paint a very real portrait of what he is possibly feeling inside. He wants the color to flow out of him and to be recognized by others in a way that is comfortable and acceptable to them. This is essentially what every artist wants, as he so rightly surmises.
The darkest parts of our heart often tend to change when we add a bit of color.
At one point in his life not too long ago Jim was going through a very dark period. He’d known heartache and he had suffered accordingly and was moving through a very shadowy place in his mind. Instead of continuing to wallow in self-pity and allow the shadows to take hold he decided that he needed some color, and painting would be the outlet he needed to bring that color to life. The colors he uses tend to bring forth the emotions he’s feeling and the experiences that have helped to shape those moments in his life. Through his art [easyazon_link identifier=”B000J3FN7I” locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Jim Carrey[/easyazon_link] is showing the world just what he feels and that he is glad to be alive.
Every artist wants to be recognized for something, no matter what form their art takes. The truth behind any painting, sculpture, drawing, or even piece of writing is that the artist is sincere in what they bring forth. In this they allow the world to know them and what it is that makes them unique.
