I...I have to say that this is a different art form. I have thrown away paint drop cloths and buckets of paint that had more expression than this exhibit. However, I think I understand what his type of art represents If there is random art I think that this is it. It’s the art that happens when we are producing <a href="http://www.artfortune.com" rel="nofollow">real art</a> . I think real art work, be it painting a wall, or using the last bit of house paint in a five gallon drum or that paper pallet we mixed our oil paints on could apply here. What we leave behind is as random as the paint drips on our skin from trying to paint a ceiling. Our art is producing a byproduct of art. I think that this blog represents the deconstruction of art to a pure form untouched by human hands. I’m not sure what to say, but this is a much different art form presented at a gallery than Ive seen before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369527.post-49148190428098477392007-01-23T14:28:00.000-06:002007-01-23T14:28:00.000-06:00i agree with you, it is difficult to put into word...i agree with you, it is difficult to put into words why something like this is pleasing to look at. Yet so much of it looks unfinished or even disposable. It's Postminimalism all over again. Somehow such gestures are relevant again, though. I like to think about these works in relation to grandiose or baroque gestures like Matthew Barney. But then sometimes I can also look at dried stucco and ruminate on its tiny cast shadows and subtle harmonious chaos. It's not that such things are brilliantly crafted, but that as an observer, one is prepared to become unhinged by the unexpected, even the banal.jkfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232565426339240796noreply@blogger.com
