You'll have to turn the swear filter off to allow me to give my full artistic response to what I think of their (so called) 'art'. :shocked: :D

I love the way Bristol has embraced this art form. The first painting in the slide show is my favorite.

Any one wanting to see a bit more about the Bristol graffiti project can have a look at the following link.

The Banksy exhibition at Bristol's City Museum and Art Gallery is also still running until the end of this month and looks well worth a visit.

Grayson Perry calls art world 'disengaged'

link

And the debate rages on..Is he right?

Personally I think Grayson is the only real artist to have won the Turner Prize but then I'm a potter myself.;)

I agree with Maggy about Grayson and I 'aint even a potter. :)

Having seen a fair few Turner exhibition winners and entries over the years there are not many winning entries that, I would think, the general public would consider to be true works of art. In all honesty I find it difficult to find the "art" in many of the pieces of work and can understand Grayson's comment.


The art world seems to be fueled by 2 groups. There's, us who buy because we like stuff then there's the Investors, who buy only with an eye to making a profit.

Overlooking the artwork being produced in the less rarefied world out side the realms of the Turner Prize Circus are the Critics who in the main, IMHO, have their brains so far up their backsides that they wouldn't rate a piece of art unless it fits into their own narrow set of criteria and was created either by an artist willing to starve in a garret or one who they could claim to have discovered. < and breath>The Turner Jury seeming to hold a similar opinion to the latter group of critics having, over the years, ensured that those that enter work appear to be to be in the main those who seek to enter a race for notoriety in the hope that it will help them attract the critical acclaim that will gain them potential Patrons with seemingly bottomless pockets.

Sorry for the long post but no apologies for the rant. It felt good getting it off my chest. :D

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
 

Ooops, not any more...

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
 

Well it was just some overpriced firewood certainly not art unless you are deficient somewhere.:D

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
 

Your link was most welcome Cobby. I needed a good belly laugh.

If any Art Galleries are reading this thread I have a waste paper basket overflowing with the debris from last night and if they want to pay me £500,000.00 I will gladly entitle it Mrs G's Life. I will even deliver it and install my modern art installation for free. :D
