shit when i see art like this i get little bumed out.
it just looks so RAD- but it so fun and accessible to make work like this. everyone and their grandmas doing it. pseudo 60’s/ADOBE/MAC INDUCED WHAT NOT. and most people are not going as far as this guy and making the cliche their own, they are just straight up copying the people who do. i don’t know what to think about that.
i like it though. STILL LIKE THIS TYPE OF WORK, just don’t understand.

Yeah, it looks rad, but its so VERY Whitney Biennial 2002 era Forcefield. That said, their installation was the best thing I ever saw at any Biennial. I wouldn’t say what this dude made is easy, just that his dudes like like outtakes from a Forcefield show and his collages look like Black Dice, though its all a tad more precious. Maybe his art will be start to become his own next year though?
