Art in 9 minutes? You be the judge. Amazing
 

Incredible. I kept wondering how he came up with that technique.

That was amazing.

That's pretty cool. Especially how three dimensional it ends up being.

At first I thought he was crazy lighting it work with his torch! Is it to seal the painting?

It's like Bob Ross with spray paints instead of oils http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif It's better performance art than it is fine painting, but its pretty cool either way http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

That reminds me, the Starving Artists' sale is coming up at the Radisson. I hope they have some sofa-sized paintings.

That's definately Art. Although I'm sure he will die soon from all the high VOC paints etc.

OK, I'm going to weigh in here as I have an MFA from Pratt Institute. The term "art" is subjective. I remember the inception of 'conceptual art' when the artist would hang a piece of string on the gallery wall and be prepared with a treatise on the significance of the string. The spray painted piece seems more like illustration than art. It's formularized, but then again some would consider it 'art'. Personally I hold it with the same esteem I do for paintings of dogs playing cards on velvet. Now that is kitch. Sorry if I offended anyone reading this who has one of those. My sister an I used to call my mother the Queen of Kitch and now that she's gone we value her collection as camp. (but we keep it in the closethttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif )

I completely agree that the term 'art' is subjective, but I also know CB has pretty stringint opinions about Fine Art. Personally, I prefer folk art and the decorative arts and crafts to fine art in general.

I do think it is pretty neat what that guy can do in 9 minutes, but also, clearly, very commercial and kitschy, IMO.

Fine Art is spiritual.........
just as spiritual as
