paul kenton, by mike hunt on Oct 29, 2007 11:29:05 GMT 1, Please help clear this up. I do not like this artist (paul kenton) at all. I find him bland, boring and cliched. I have to admit, he is technically good (mark making, way he applies the paint etc) but I just despise this kind of art. My girlfriend and another person I know absolutely love his work, but it represents everything I despise in art. Please can have your opinions so I know I'm either not mad or just wrong?!

paul kenton, by mike hunt on Oct 29, 2007 11:45:58 GMT 1, I think sometimes people like bad art. Art that doesn't upset the apple cart. I call it granny art, or chocolate box art. It doesn't say anything and just looks 'pretty' (and thats debateable as well!). I think in this case, it annoyed me because its something I've seen done so many times before. I think there's no bigger insult for art than to be bland. This is a strange thread isn't it?! I just wanted to restore my faith in humankind by not feeling like I was the only one to dislike this work. Sorry to bring such utter rot to the forum!!
