DiegoDiego Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I like Banksy. I went to see an exhibition of his and it was brilliant. His art might be dismissed by some as only street art but his traditional art is [emoji846] Also, his heart is in the right place. He is special. He is really funny as well.My issue with him (and those of his ilk) are that it's very difficult to create subtle political art so most of it comes across as the jotter scrawlings of a leftist student brought to life.I don't think he's really advancing the discussion in any way, which seems to be his goal, he's not changing anyone's minds either, as it mainly seems to exist as a way for the already converted to think they are smart and relevant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Art created by AI is really interesting, almost all of the “paintings” I’ve seen have a haunting quality about them. For art to be created by something that has no real concept of “art” is really quite something. https://www.ar*****allery.com/ ETA: url has a banned word in it it seems. Art-Ai-Gallery.com without the hyphens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) One of my favourites. Albert Square, Manchester by Adolphe Valette. 1910. Adolphe was a Frenchman teaching at the Manchester School of Art and was Lowry's tutor. It is on display in the Manchester Art Gallery. Edited May 12, 2020 by eindhovendee To add where it is on display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a copy of this at home, it’s an incredible piece of work. I’m not really an art gallery sort of guy but I’d like to see the original to fully appreciate individual scenes within the painting that the artist is looking to depict. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 The art loving contingent on P&B may be interested in the Keith Haring documentary that's on BBC2 tonight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kqk5 I do like Haring's work even though a lot of it is fairly simple. I'm also quite interested in the 1980s New York counterculture scene of art, music and nightclubs that Haring is associated with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 More Australian auction nonsense. Somebody paid A$6,136,000 for this at auction yesterday, an auction record for an Australian painting. It’s called Henri’s Armchait by Brett Whiteley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
