going to the affordable* art fair tonight as my friend who has a gallery is exhibiting there
what sort of art do you like?

alt: Donald or thrillary?

*in Battersea that's under £4,500 I think, but when it moves to Chelsea it's under £10,000. I am not sure they necessarily know what "affordable" means

I used to have a Jack Vettriano print on my wall.
I think this counts as either two fingers up to the art world, or an admission of artistic ignorance. Take your pick.

There, I've said it.

Kind of a hard question, really.
You can put me in front of a work of art and I'll tell you if I like it or not, but I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell you why. So that's basically my non-answer.

Alt: they're both equally representative of how different aspects of American society are fucked up beyond recognition and should both be kept as far away from the White House as possible.

my favourite art is doodles that you absent mindedly do while on the phone that have been coloured in a bit, that's why uri geller is my favourite artist

I think most art is pointless.
I prefer photography, which I don't consider to be art for reasons too boring to expand upon. Also I harbour a strong prejudice against artists as I think they're largely self-satisfied, effete and arrogant. Though I'm sure you'll tell me your friend is lovely.

In conclusion, my house is full of my own photography because I'm a) a boor and b) a poor

Is photography not an art form because it's simply using a machine to create a replica of something which exists independent of the artist?
I hereby declare you to be a) an artist and b) a plagiarist.

Great example of why it's too boring to expand on here

I SAID THE REASONS ARE TOO BORING TO GO INTO WHY YOU NO RISSEN?

That guy manages to turn being a wanker into an art form

Me reading comments on here is art

My comments on here will rocket in value, once I'm dead.

You can declare anything whatsoever to be art, therefore it's all bullshit.
So there.

Art is knee-deep in pretentious pricks, so in general I avoid it.
Although I have a mate who is a painter and won a £25K prize a few years ago and now works full time in his own studio. Although to be fair his work is actually tangible 'art', it's not a curled up shit in a bed or lights that go on and off, or some old bollocks like that.

oh god fuck modern art
I just like decent paintings. preferably sea or landscapes, with no fucking PEOPLE in them.

people ruin everything.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 20 Oct 2016, 11:41, Reply)

Come to think of it Vettriano's stuff might be the only paintings I like with actual people in them.

I dont mind a peruse of a gallery.
My skills are limited to "oh, that's nice".
My other half says I have an eye for photography. Ive taken some SKILLZ shots. he's also a photographer.
