7 year old art prodigy, by Momo on May 9, 2014 21:31:10 GMT 1, Is it me or is this just ridiculous (I am not saying this with a thread of jealousy)
I don't see anything special etc. . Just hype and over zealous parental units..
If you do see what I don't please don't hesitate and inform me cos I (with my amateur eyes) just don't see it.

7 year old art prodigy, by mike3489 on May 9, 2014 21:34:19 GMT 1, I would not want to judge the art to harshly, but my problem with this is does this sever year old listen to any of the music of the album covers he's painting and would he even begin to understand what the music is really about? I'd like to think that would influence any artist painting these.

Its not my intention to judge the art harshly or attack it, I wouldn't do it of any artist, (let alone a child's) we all have preferences and opinions after all but I just don't get it.

7 year old art prodigy, by kultur on May 9, 2014 23:00:23 GMT 1, Actually I think it is a new low for Gallery 1988.
Obviously my uneducated opinion would suggest that the work of a prodigy would not look like work done by a 7 year old. But what do I know.

7 year old art prodigy, by Stoko on May 10, 2014 1:06:56 GMT 1, My job is as a high school art teacher.
At home I get my kids to draw bands they're into ; weezer, foo fighters, Ramones etc.
They're pretty good
But they're doing what I say, and as such I would never pass it off as art.
And they're a damn sight better than this
*please Pm for the gallery/agent pre release discount*

I agree with Kultur, we should be pointing our collective finger at the gallery rather than the "artist". |
