The same can be said of many artistsIt's only because he's popular that he grates on as many people as like him.

Not many people who are not srtists are lauded as suchI am not a fan of (Verity's reference) that Emin woman, but for the most part the britpack art was art.
Hoggan bases his whole career on 'not being conceptual' and, with a bit of craft, he is undermining art and deliberately misleading thousands of people who are wanting to learn about art.
I am not saying that there is anything wrong with painting in what i refer to as the 'watercolour' manner, merely that he is a charlatan pretending he is more.
As an example - if someone came on here posting pictures which were photographs run through a posterise filter then it'd piss Verity off if that person was going 'round saying that her vectors or, perhaps a better example, mofaha's noised vectors were shit and theirs was real art.

hah!The woman is a popularist.
I think she is an improvement of Hoggan, and some of her paintings are excellent, but she has taken one series way beyond its natural end and has descended into a world normally reserved for greetings card illustrators.
