first of all, thanks for showing your work. I would be careful and delete it now, since warosu and other sites archive the threads automatically. you could be backtraced for posting on this crappy anime board.

Congrats on getting quite a few shows already! The works to me seem like they are in the vein of (very) naive figuration, that kind that Tal R sometimes represents. It's a very trendy thing. I'm not too fond of the three on the right, the ones on the left are decent. Very hard to judge by only those six paintings.

I think what upsets anons on here the most is that they don't understand the context, where this is coming from. It's as if a kid looks at a coleminer and has no idea why the man is full of dirt, so the kid thinks it's a lazy hobo who doesn't wash.
That sort of naive figuration and doodle-esthetic is so goddamn trendy at the time, because I think the art world is trying to promote a countermovement to the HD quality and screaming colors of computer screens, ads, strong colors and media that are constantly all around us. In contrast with the accelerating developement in 3D games and cinema, these doodles come across as a sort of relief to the eye, showing very simplified shapes and dynamics.

I myself am working a lot with figuration and I think that people in the art world, promoters, juries, curators, are completely stunned and afraid at anything that shows emotion, has "too much" figuration and isn't ambiguous enough.

Last show I've seen was by Ernst Caramelle, whose works are completely rid of emotion altogether and I'm seeing a very strong trend in that, as well as in having a "dirty, raw" look.

there's a lot of really impressive naive painting out there like Jules de Balincourt. I can get into it, but not always and sometimes, I think it's just done because they honestly can't work anywhere outside of that comfortzone and be consistent.

Is the Srijon painting by you? It's kind of reminescent of the fact that you can't find any univeristy these days where they actually teach you how to mix colors properly. The figuration is right, the child looks kinda Otto Dix'esque, but the colors are totally tilting towards black, the blue cloth mixed with black or Van Dyck Brown, the hair with green reflections. green in her face. (her nose isn't really spot on). otherwise an interesting composition, if a little flat.
the strongest message in that painting is of course the arm around the baby, while looking at her phone.

woah anon, good luck. we have that sort of prize over here as well, but the main sponsor is a bank and if you consider that they are buying around 10 to 30 paintings from upcoming artists … consider that maybe around 10% will make a name of themselves … that's a pretty cheap speculative deal for a bank. it's literally peanuts for them. I'm very suspicious of those sort of prizes, yet for a struggling young artists, that's a shitload of money that can pay the bills for half a year / a full year.

This particular competition is run by a wider art institution which is funded by our government, they also take a 40% cut of the finalist works that are sold (a fair amount of which is from relatively established artists). the sales alone would probably covers the cash prizes

Have you been to one of these competitions? The prize money is anemic (10k) because it’s normally funded by some business owner trying to score some pussy from someone in the social circle. A bunch of go nowhere artists show up and take it seriously, adds to the events social proof, guy gets laid, throw some sales money to charity and you’re good.

you can refuse to see it all you want. most of contemporary art is a brainchild of postmodern deconstruction: taking certain qualities in art, isolating them, analyzing them and seeing what happens and what's branching out from there.

Take the water lillies by Monet. They can be seen as the starting point of abstract painting. Color is looked at for what it is: color on a canvas, streaks and thick patches of oil paint, color that is in contrast with itself. In the same manner, artists have looked at composition alone (Paul Klee, Miro) and other aspects, singled out, concentrated, broken down, reduced to minimalism. There is beauty and skill in that, you just refuse to admit it, because you are upset and you have different preferences. Maybe you enjoy LOTR concept art, dragon and soldier fantasy art, loli, thick bitches in lewd armor …

The one on the left is just coloring in the lines.
In kindergarten I wasn’t alowed to watch captain kangaroo cause I didn’t stay in the lines.
So he’s got that going.
The one on the left he used rulers, perspective decently, and hints upon light wrapping around shapes. But there is no commitment.
I do admit I did see one painting of his that actually was interesting.
I watched a talk he gave somewhere and he showed a painting with figures running around somewhere. I think there were emergency vehicles or something....
Anyway, the figures were like cardboard cutouts living in a normal environment.
If he had actual skill as a painter beyond a sentimental grandmother painting pet portraits for Christmas, it would have been awesome.
No doubt he has a brain and thinks, but his brain isn’t connected to art. I wish it were.

very wrong. there is a tendency to avoid teaching techniques today, that is true. but it's because if you really want to, you look it up. there are hundreds of books and videos on how to paint a certain way. it is a waste of time to teach it in art schools, since there are so many approaches that you can't really please all the requests. besides, certain professors who are major artists will do this and teach you their method. this can be both beneficial and problematic, as you don't want little Daniel Richters running around either.

Do you reckon the gallery down the road, the one selling big paintings of wonky flowers and some goopy looking ceramics for like $1500 a pop is really just an elaborate front for money laundering?

That’s all it is. A big circle jerk.
But, no big deal. They can have it.
I am not interested in contemporary art. I have no interest in becoming an artist.
I will take pride in being and being referred to as a painter.

No the gallery down the road is about social signalling. Keep in mind that the value of contemporary art follows a power law, so 80% of the money in the art market can be used for money laundering/tax evasion/investments/paying gallery owners to shill art pieces,,, and 80% of the pieces sold can be in small galleries and the art competitions around the globe.

I don’t want to get “it”.
The thought in your mind isn’t legitimate.
If I did get it, I would want to unlearn it, as that would be a healthy step in a positive direction for myself and humanity in general.
The talk I saw with Jules started with one of his “soundscapes” playing during the introduction.
Then it kept playing thru half of his talk. He smiled several times because the guy or girl running the sound for the event didn’t know whether to shut off the “soundscape” or not.
People don’t know whether to pick trash off the floor at art shows or not because they are afraid it part of the show.

Literally none of this is about art it’s just social bullshit. NEETs in dens get better education shitposting on ic and pirating the latest hotness off cgpeers. The whole gaming industry art direction was built off guys like that, it’s had an actual emotional effect on far more than any visual art scene ever has in history. Contemporary art is a cultural culdasac and is dying year over year. I’m sure it’s meaningful to you and your friends though.

yeah i bet you know all about it. glad to see that an absolute outsider who knows nothing about the art world has all the information necessary to look into the future (!) of contemporary art and make ludicrous prediction on its prevailance. especially since art sells for the highest prices ever these days. contemporary art has famously lasted without a scratch through the financial crisis in 2008 and still going. museums are expanding, art shows are as popular as ever, new art fairs are coming about every year.
yeah this makes a lot of sense, buddy!

No one wants to work with artists that are complete and utter August’s, socialising, connections and knowing how to sell yourself are what seperate the successful from the bitter nobodies that just wallow in self pity while redoing their fundies for the upteemth time. And the visual art world has had little to no impact compared to the gaming industry? Sure buddy, that’s why there have been entire movements that shape the media and architecture of the era they were created in and then hang in museums as they’ve been agreed upon to have had huge cultural impact

hey i got news for you: taste in art is subjective. a lot of agreement and disagreement out there. you hate Baloncourt? fine. means nothing to me. i appreciate his work and have seen it face to face. 600 by 800 pixels doesn't do it justice.

i think that around 50% of contemporary painting being promoted and inflated by galleries and Sothebys and so on is not something i like. the other half might be things that are decent and a certain amount of it is stuff that i am really passionate about, deeply impressed and would love to own/collect or buy a catalogue of.

art is subjective. always was, always will be. it's the art that persists after many decades that is worth something. the same goes for all art. it has to stand the test of time. i bet my dick that the cheap digital Loomis excercises, loli Wacom masturbation material and fantasy crap posted on /ic/ doesn't even last five years.

lmfao!

I've seen you post this proudly around all sorts of threads for days already. It's an exercise. The first thing I notice desu is the lack of a theme other than it being a test for your pencil skills. You see drawings of skulls like that in easter european academicism all over the place. the allover composition is dead-centered, lacking dynamic. the skull looks unnaturally clean, like the type of model heads for studying shading. The book and skull evoke that historic air, the Renaissance vanitas theme.
Your work is alluding to things and themes that are long gone. Not really seeing where it's supposed to be situated today. It's nicely executed, but that's clearly not enough.

Going for an account or bar job is very different from going for a gallery position for your abstract trash. The former has gaurenteed economic output they can sell, the latter has to be manufactured and shilled into something people care about. Not the same as a studio position where they can take assets produced and use.
