/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

His art looks pretty unique and interesting to me, biggest problem I have with it is that his pieces don't differ enough from each other. I reckon people like a couple of his pieces but don't stick around for long because of this.

Fuck off Afremov nobody gives a shit about you.

shiny gimmick + fame begets fame

Why are his paintings always on the front page of google?

I remember seeing these in google images even when I was younger.

I don't know spanish but his wikipedia page mentions Israel and fucking Lenin. So my guess is he is a merchant.

You're right, he is a merchant.

He lived in Israel for some time.
He claims to be a Jew.

But anyway, I believe there are some Jews among us (Artists), yet they're not as famous as him, the question is, what's his secret? what is the key for Google to promote you so much?
How does the algorithm work?
Why one man gets everything and others get nothing? if the system claims to be fair and just.

Well not every jew is a "jewy" jew. But generally, jews are very well connected and connections are very helpful in the art world. Also, you can manipulate the google algorithm if you got the money.

Nobody claims the system is fair and just, I would argue it actually cannot be so due to stuff like the Matthew principle.

>>3627988
it's fucking obvious you fucking retard. every single painting looks the same and it's all "OOOO BRIGHT COLORS AND PRIMARY CONTRASTS". are you seriously implying there's a cabal involving google just to promote one random mediocre artist.

Stopped reading.
I don't take shit from people who cannot even communicate normally. their opinion is empty.

?

Tell that to millions of his followers.
How many followers do YOU have?
Thought so... LOL

>>3628067
The more you're successful, the more you get success, if I understand it correctly. Reference to a Saint Matthew verse.

Good thread. bump

He favs your shitty art, unfavs it later and does this to about 1000 new artists a day.
If you get 1-2 notifications a week, it makes you all hyped 'cause you're a 12yo who can't see through that shit. He also says about himself that he's "world renowned" and why would you doubt that, right? Then you're 16 and you buy phone cases with his art.
Simple.

I would suck his dick just to get a taste of his genes and hopefully, become 0.1% more talented, closer to his level.

I am convinced this guy has some algorithm favouriting people on deviantart, he just faved my /beg/ trash that I did in 10 minutes so I got something for this day of Inktober.

I forgot my friend who's a photographer hired some tech guys from india to create his website and have it where you type in photographer and his names is one of the first few that shows up immediately. This was 8 years ago though, not sure if he still does it, but yea he explained it to me but I forgot, but trust me its fully possibly.

First time posting in this thread. hE fucking adds random artworks in his favorites in deviantArt, gains exposure, then repeats. He doesn't care about anything in that website at all. I want you to take a look at the abomination he fills his favorites in https://www.deviantart.com/leonidafremov/favourites/ keep refreshing then you'll get more works that can be found from the newest page.

>>3630210
He is only successful because he's using the techno shit and just botting everything instead of being a genuine person.

>>3630217
actually in general, he never cares about anyone except his customers, and really just used the internet as his marketplace. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but its /how/ he made it to the 'top'.
