Art is subjective, we all have our own taste, we all will find hidden meanings in something different.
However hard we find to express this, there's an emotional response deep within our very souls, that spark, which leads to a fascination with certain images. Art is a wonderful thing for keeping us in touch with our true selves.

Art can appropriate an image, the process of taking an image giving it a new setting, a new way of looking at it, a mark, a tag, anything, changes it subtlety in ways that only become apparent with time.

Pop art questions the repetition of an image, how the mundane the everyday can be elevated to an art form

There's a point where that takes you, the point all consumerism eventually takes you, the dry husk of a soul, the spark withered away, the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Go a further mile past that and in a funeral pyre you'll find all this fucking shit piled high, hoping one day to make someone richer than they already are.** $800 for x x on a picture of a kids character * * it's to do with lost innocence, lost fucking $800 for x x on a picture of a kids character x x
This piece has reached a new pinnacle of banality in the history of human artistic endeavour. Vandalog will no doubt drool heavily from the corner of his mouth, before involuntarily ejaculating at the sight of it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys just don't get it do you....it's ironic, y'know, its cutsie it's kitsch it's ugly, and awkward and geeky and so far removed from the ethics of aesthetics or artistic merit that it's actually waaaaay cool, the fact that it's so duh, uncool and craftless makes it like uber cool and totally genius...you dumb fucks just don't get it do you....you're missing out on all that delicious irony and the massive lift it can give your whole self image....I'm so outtahere....losers
ReplyDeleteSo because it's overpriced, shit and extremely ugly it's genius yeah?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a fucking sack of shite but each to their own.
You obviously earn to much.
It's cutsie, it's kitsch, it's ugly, awkward and geeky. Also it's the biggest steaming pile of shit left by a herd of bisons!
ReplyDeleteAdmit it, your kids will still be laughing at you long after they left home at 14 because you could not afford university fees because you were hypnotized into paying $800 for this butt burp.
Sorry guys my post ^^^I was following Dr Funky's statement of the rationalisation of people behind the price tag of this atrocity with a parody post of the arrogant deluded and clueless mindset of someone who ACTUALLY thinks like that..(and plenty must)...Duh etc....
ReplyDeleteCall it trolling but I was trying to be as obvious with it as possible....I thought people who read this would realise from the "waaaay" and the "uber cool" bit that i was takin the piss. Sorry won't happen again.Guess I got carried away....
The rats are deserting the sinking ship....tht's all that matters....Land ahoy!
It's hard to separate parody from reality sometimes when it comes to this type of 'art'. I could imagine VNA or Vandalog saying exactly the same statement as you did but meaning every word of it. You definitely got deep into the mindset of the nerdy Kaws fanboy there. Surely even Kaws must think it's a sick joke that he can make 80 grand off of this shitty print...I bet he's laughing his tits off right now at all the mugs buying this. Never in the history of humanity have talent and skill had such an inverse relationship to financial success than it does in in the present realm of urban art.
ReplyDeleteTrue nuff.....just a blip....
ReplyDeleteThe Emperor has no clothes on. At least it's being said at last.
there is currently an advertisement for Sponge Bob running on the streets of Berlin which looks exactly like this
ReplyDeleteSponge Bob is called "Sponge Bob Schwamm Kopf" here in Germany, which translates as "Sponge Bob Sponge Head", a name which I find nearly as stupid as anyone who would spend $800 on a print which looks no different than an advertisement for the cartoon character it parodies (if putting xx's on a characters eyes makes it a parody)
As a body of work I quite like what KAWS does, but for me this piece is pretty pointless. I'm beginning to understand why Dr Funky is so annoyed by street art...
Kaws is a pile of fuking shite.
ReplyDeleteGo buy a peeped box to put your toys in sad boys
In the future, every paedophile will have one on their mantlepiece and it will be Kaws and Vandalogs fault.
