New piece - Figure 1, by loucastel on Jul 6, 2008 15:01:26 GMT 1, Hi meexed, this one is getting better, you obviously have some talent, I think just as a portrait it would have worked well, what spoils it for me is it is a bit messy in the left background, almost as if you got fed up by that time,and just wanted to fill some space, the face is very good though, keep em coming.

But surely the idea of art is to do something fairly original, not what I'm sure most people on this forum could do ,and just go ape with a spray can, the face takes a certain amount of skill to achieve, I certainly couldnt do it, but the background just hasn't been thought out and adds nothing to the overall effect.

New piece - Figure 1, by Danny O'Connor on Jul 6, 2008 16:35:25 GMT 1, I suppose it's all a matter of opinion really. Just cos something is easy to do doesn't make it any better or worse IMO. Jackson Pollock made his name doing what you could train a monkey to do. I wasn't trying to question your advice, just saying what I thought.

You seem to have missed the point, it doesn't need an interesting background, what I was trying to say, in perhaps a very inadequate way, was the figure would be able to stand on it's own merit and not need a background as such.
And the analogy by doc about Jackson Pollock, was absolutely banal, with respect you obviously know nothing about his work, It's like saying that banksy isn't an artist because he uses stencils and even kids at school make stencils, it's the ideas and thought process behind the work that will eventually shine through, and the competence with which it is carried out.
anyway keep up the good work meexed.

I think you missed my point. What you have said about the thought process shining through is what I was trying to say myself (Probably badly).
For the record I wasn't dissing Pollock, I actually like his work. Just using him as an example to explain my point that it's not all in the technical ability required but the idea itself.
I think your comments are constructive by the way, which is exactly what the artists on here are looking for. I'm not having a go at you.
Look forward to more work from you meexed!
