War Religion & Politics, by buddings on Oct 4, 2007 18:04:12 GMT 1, i believe that ttere are no boundries in art and you should be able to paint whatever you want. if it offends someone, at least you know that they took time to think about your work and what it means to them.

War Religion & Politics, by stuey09 on Oct 4, 2007 18:06:34 GMT 1, I have always felt the main reason that most of us connected with Banksy's work was the messages he had about War, Religion and Politics ;D but I have noticed now how more and more people seem to be afraid of buying any art thats a bit controversial  My favorite pieces are the ones the shock people and really get them talking ;D What are your views on this? Do you stop yourself buying a piece of art just because it might offend a visitor to your home?
No. I'd never intentionally offend anyone, but if they objected to something that I had on my wall I like to think that I could justify it in the name of art. Good art should go beyond the beautiful and picturesque. It should provoke a reaction.

Very true! ;D We dont mind watching films about Death, Religion, War, Racism, or whatever! So we can learn about whats happening around the world and back in history. So why cant people have it on the wall as Art?

Yeah, I would never buy a piece just to upset anyone  As you say, Art should provoke a reaction! ;D and I dont think that should just be limited to an old fashioned oil painting of the countryside and for people to say "ahhh, thats a beautiful scene"

Thank God Im not the only one  ;D
I just think about if an image was hung in a Gallery full of pictures, would it be the one people would walk straight past or would it be the one that they rushed to see ;D and stood talking about it for ages now thats what I call Art ;D

War Religion & Politics, by Rourke on Oct 4, 2007 18:26:31 GMT 1, The more controversaial the better i say. It certainly got me in2 all this stuff. I use 2 paint cottages, and scenes and all that boring sh*t with no meaning, which fills most galleries nationwide. I'm a 'born again artist' and I have seen the light.
…Excellet subject Silky.
I don't care who I offend comin 2 my house, if they dont like they shudnt come.
Cheers

War Religion & Politics, by CHAMB on Oct 4, 2007 18:44:37 GMT 1, I'm personally comfortable with any and all types of imagery, it's really the message and how it's put together on the wall, on paper, on canvas, that will push me to like it or want it.
I personally only buy things that are to my liking, I have quite a few pieces that wife will never let me hang, so they sit in my portfolio, but I'm ok with that. Maybe when the kids are older and out of the house she'll feel differently.

War Religion & Politics, by Run Pig Run on Oct 4, 2007 18:59:04 GMT 1, of course there are a few exceptions - someone on stencil revloution did a stencil of a dead baby.
when i took my toxic mary to the framers i could see in his face it was tthe most grotesque thing he'd ever seen.....but i love it and actually think it is quite beautiful.

War Religion & Politics, by Deleted on Oct 4, 2007 19:08:50 GMT 1, I am strongly against people creating controversial art when the artist themselves have had no experience of that particular subject. nor do they have any further knowledge on a matter than a Michael Moore film.
Art should be about self-exploration and expression. If you were abused as a child, then nobody has the right to tell you not to create art about the pain you suffered, no matter how controversial it may seem.
If I were to create a piece of art based on child abuse, when I have never been affected by it, just to be shocking, then in my opinion, this would be very bad art. I get the feeling some artists are doing this. Maybe not as extreme as this example, but certainly based around politics. Where's the quality!?

War Religion & Politics, by Rourke on Oct 4, 2007 19:08:52 GMT 1, I like them images bigman.
I think everybody as they own personal views on art, and should be respected for them. I personally dont think with that the artist should have experience what he as created. I create images which are in my head, whether it be from personal experience or not, if they are in there they will come out in one way or the another.
whether I see images in a newspaper, on news, in the street, anything could spark of an idea for a picture. my personal views fuel the picture to have meaning and depth. What you feel ect.
its just veiw, how I work
I hope that makes sense, cos I'm sh*t with words

War Religion & Politics, by Coach on Oct 4, 2007 19:35:28 GMT 1, I'm not at all bothered about upsetting visiters - RVandal has it spot on. but, so lots of my art has what some people in the village - local village for local people - might find offensive (or just odd) - cnd soldiers, beggar, golf sale, cauty queen with gas mask, etc
the only thing i have to watch is the kids mates coming round. so MWIH is not in the lounge - cos of the p*ick tease reference. (until they are a bit older), anything with porn as part of the art, eg goldie's pieces, whilst i thought they looked great, are a bit of a no no!
;D

Surprisingly no, but a lot that come in are amused by and like Applause, there's no comment on the other two

I agree In a way, so many people preaching about the whole war thing when they know little about it apart from what they see in the news. I don't find any art thats that disturbing apart from the inside page of this months (Oct Issue 15) Art review, a little distasteful IMO.

I can see where you're coming from, but my initial response was to smile, IMO there's much more shocking art, like works that have rotting flesh, blood and shit all over place, not very pleasant at all.
