Adam Koukoudakis??, by BK83 on Jul 2, 2007 19:23:31 GMT 1, Absolutely agree ManchesterMike -- they're completely irrelevant. By using the paint drips he says something completely different about the image. it's all you notice and totally detracts from the concept. I hate to be the one to say it, because I know people love Koukadakis so much (although cant figure out why), but that sort of thing truly is the mark of amatuer artistic talent. There I said it. Flame away.
*edit
I only say this because a lot of artists seem to use this technique of the drips and splatters without really thinking about it's usage. I agree ins some instances it is indeed effective and an absolute must in a piece, but a lot of artists use it without understanding the artistic merit behind it. Whenever this is done the artists is essentially referencing Jackson Pollock and the problem with that is that by referencing him you draw the viewer into a relationship with the artist and Pollock and quite Frankly -- Pollock did it best. Koukadakis is not using the paint drips here for visual referencing to the art, he is merely using them as a visual aesthetic that instead of adding value to the image severely detracts value.

Adam Koukoudakis??, by finsburyparkranger on Jul 2, 2007 19:32:42 GMT 1, Yep they annoy me as well. Great image but overkilled with trying too hard. When he strips them off I might be very interested in getting a print. Its even more pertinent now that blair could hyperthitcally get done for crimes against humanity because he has no protection as being head of state.

He might have thought he was head of state, FPR, but that job belongs to the Queen.
