Art The Modern Art Thread

I've really been feeling Margaret Kilgallen's work lately.

It's so folksy...

Aw, shit I love art.

Yeah, I agree. It's a very sad story. But, in my opinion, a LOT of beauty came out of it. Especially in the galleries.

...Beautiful Losers was a dope movie. But then again, I love Shepard Fairey, so I suppose I'm biased.

What?

 

[justsomeguy]

that piece was the winner of art prize in grand rapids last year. the artist took home 250,000$ cool ones.

the competition was based on a popular vote.

 

[AmorRoark]

I would have voted for you... if you entered. I don't see you in the artists list. Why didn't you submit one of your awesome pieces?

 

[AmorRoark]

I don't usually like this style but this is kinda cool.

i did have a piece last year. it was hung pretty badly lol, and in a not top notch venue.

the artists up there are from this year, i didn't enter this year.

 

[AmorRoark]

Not conventional art, but I think it's pretty great and I wasn't sure of where else to post it. Creative at the least.

I love this woman's art. Some of her other work is heavily influenced by Dali. Even the ones above are, but not as much as the one below:

It's too much like Dali's work, but it's still nice to look at all the same.

 

[debaser]

Eek.

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Everyone's a critic. It's still not going to change my opinion of her work. You going to bring anything to the table besides an Eek lou?
