I know almost nothing about art, I'd be very interested in learning why this isn't art.
At the museum in San Francisco a couple years back a guy shit on a piece of paper and they called it art and put it on display. I assumed that art was whatever you wanted it to be.

Art doesn't have to be good. What it should do thought is bee more than one layer deep. Art should usually be about more than just the picture in front of the viewer. Usually the artist is trying to convey an emotion, express a point, expose something about life while at the same time entertaining and making one think. You don't have to like or agree with it. What this man does is mostly just entertainment. And I don't knock him for that, he's very good at it but I don't personally feel it's "artistic". Too each his own really.

I guess I kind of have to agree with Locut0s about the art thing. I mean if he came up with this on the spot, goddamn, that is some artistic talent. But if you've rehearsed this over and over and are able to do it quickly, hmmm... well I guess the original you did was created by artistic talent, but the reproduction was not.

Look around the rest of that site and see what his "not art" sells for. If anyone buys is, that fellow is pulling down some serious cash.

His art isn't about the end result, it's about the process he goes through painting it.

It's still art.

Wtf? He puts his work down in a unique fashion, listening to his inspiration as he paints it, and you don't consider it art? How the hell is it not art? Some people consider photography art. Where is the expression in that, often times? I don't quite think you can define something not as art with all the other trash passing at it nowadays.

eh, I'd say it's performance art though. not really the type of art that most people are probably thinking that it is (what you're inferring).

I'd still say it's art, though.

(You and I both know you can win this image at the fair by popping a few balloons--it's airbrushed onto a mirror, of course ;))

Yeah, I agree. He's a performance artist. Not much a of a painter.

Yeah, with enough practice, anyone here could do what he does. I don't mean to take away from what he creates, but he recreated an already existing image and he presumably does so with every show he does.

Very talented and beautiful art work. Reminds me of Shinkawa's art work from Metal Gear with textured brush strokes.

Is it "art?" Yes.

Is it "GREAT ART?" No.

Is it likely to be found at the Louvre? Hell No.

Does the guy have talent and mad skillz? Hell Yes.
