Tracey Emin

It irks me that she's considered talented. She's not. Don't give me any of this "you just don't get it" pish, either.

 

Also, she's a moany boot with a face like a slapped arse for someone who's probably the jammiest woman alive.

Hope she stands on a plug.

 

Most 'modern art' can just **** right off, tbh. I worked the Edinburgh Art Fair about 18 months ago and I saw a painting sell for ?3k that was basically just a canvas with some red paint brushed randomly over it. I did better than that in P4 when I painted about my day out at Laser Quest and my teacher didn't really like it.

Howard Hodgkin: pish.

He got paid thousands for those :vrface: Edit - just found out he's got a ******* Knighthood.

I've never heard of her :mellow:

 

These "paintings" though...I'm shite at art and I could probably do that...

 

Edit: The Howard Hodgkin ones genuinely look like things I painted when I was in nursery.

Martin Boyce: roaster. Won the Turner Prize for his work "Do Words Have voices". What does that mean? What does that even ******* mean? He's stealing a living.

"..whose work includes artificial trees and a leaning letter bin.."

 

**** off you talentless shyster.

Lucy Skaer: simpleton.

This isn't art. What's it supposed to represent? What's it supposed to evoke? Why have all the past few YBAs from the Turner Prize shortlists that I've looked up (about 4 now) all live in Glasgow? That's terrible and means nothing.

I do like some minimal abstract type stuff, however those two examples are terrible.

Damian Hirst: welt (and terrorist congratulator).

 

Here's a picture of an unremarkable cow:

Here's Damian Hirst's meaningless and empty "Mother and Child Divided":

Probably worth millions. Damian Hirst himself, according to Wiki, is worth around ?200 million. I despair.

I do like some modern art. The Guggenheim in Bilbao really interested me.

 

I like stuff like this

 

Anish Kapoor: Shooting in the corner

Bridget Riley: charlatan.

 

Her works are basically just optical illusions you'd find in some children's book somewhere, where you'd glance at it for a second and go "oh, cool" before tossing it in the bucket.

She's not as annoying as Tracey Emin, though.

Rachel Whiteread: imposter.

 

"Here's some boxes an stuff that I arranged vaguely neatly."

Anyone sold on this idea, to borrow from Clarkson, needs taken outside and shot.

All roads lead to Gorgie

I have actually met her once and she seemed quite down to earth, but I agree her conceptial art or whatever it's called is baffling and how anybody can get rich on that beggers belief.

I went on an English trip to London in 5th year. We had to spend about 3 hours in the Tate Modern one afternoon. It absolutely dragged, really not my thing.

 

Some art is just baffling, that 'swimming' painting for the olympics for example. You could paint it yourself in about 2 minutes :lol:. Why would someone pay millions for something like that? You can create it yourself for a fraction of the cost.

I share the OP's pain. Went to the Gallery of Modern Art a few weeks ago and was greeting by a 15 foot baby model thing, 'just out the womb'. I mean WTF?! Some of it was alright but most was pish. A good number of the paintings my mate's P3 class could have done the same or better.

 

And its not as if the other gallery is much better either. I go in and see a sculpture and say a bit too loudly 'thats the Emperor from Star Wars'. Oooft! The looks I got!:lol:

 

Coco's pic of the Lego is far more interesting and well done IMO.

Here's a modern art piece I just done in paint.

 

29uwxmp.jpg

 

It's a cat, drawn in a Howard Hodgkin-esque style. It doesn't have eyes, a mouth or feet, because that's down to the users perception of what it would look like with eyes, a mouth and feet.

 

The colours symbolize anything you want it to be. If you don't like it, then you obviously don't get it :ninja:

 

Sadly, this would be worth about 300K if he done it.

 

I hate art. I hate artists. They are all incredibly weird, and mostly their work is utter pish, yet other incredibly pointless people appreciate it.

I remember being quite taken by this piece when I first saw it at the Australian National Art Gallery as I thought it was taking the piss out of this sort of conceptual art:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Oak_Tree

 

Unfortunately on reading further it seems like the "artist" responsible was actually quite serious about it. This gives rise to uniwildcat38's First Law of Art "If I can do it, then it's not art."

I wouldn't even shoot that one, I'd keep him around because he clearly has a cracking sense of humour.

A bunch of absolute chancers.

 

Bridget Riley:

"Bridget Riley is celebrated for her optically vibrant paintings. The horizontal lines in Rose Rose indicate the direction of the Olympic swimming lanes or athletic tracks. Riley, who began her career using only black and white patterns, started to experiment with colour in 1967, the same year she began painting stripes".

I love the symbolism here. The fact that the cat is made up of an 8 (or perhaps a vertically arranged infinity symbol, perhaps this represents an infinite cat - a cat like Deity) and an S which makes this instance of the cat instantly identifiable.

 

The bright green stripes give it a vibrant and fresh aesthetic while the blue and red give it a strong british national identity. Perhaps the green stripes within the piece represent a desire on the behalf of the artist to represent Wales.

 

My only regret is the overly detailed nose and whiskers, they represent a missed opportunity for the viewer to engage their imagination and find a more personal meaning to the piece within themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that, my friends, is how you get a 2:1 for a dissertation on an arts course.

If you think all art is crap get yourself over to Amsterdam and see the Rembrants in the Rijksmuseum. Awesome. Unlike Emin, who reminds us that the Tale of Emperors New Cloths is still valid.

Anyone remember that ECA student from a couple of years ago that, for his private and "important" work, smashed a window but then got fined for it?

 

found it:

There was a guy at ECA a couple of years ago who pinched all the doormats from Marchmont for his 'piece' and then laid them out on the ground. Incredible art.

Porn & football being the exception. :thumbsup:

 

Daft ******* drawings hanging on a wall and shite models made from used condoms or whatever the **** making it takes a fancy too just bores me to tears. It's like taking a shite on a white floor and claiming it has some deeper meaning than it just being a shite.

 

Chancing *******s.

I can understand slagging Emin but that's ******* Boticelli...

 

Art is such an all encompassing term its a horrific celebration of ignorance to just write it all off.

 

That's not just directed at you bb.
