Jack Fear This raises an interesting point: should these paintings be regarded as sort of the visual-arts equivalent of fan-fiction, then? And if so, how does that change our discourse about them?
This was precisely the point I was trying to skirt around earlier...
I suppose from the point that any practice of art is valid, then it's okay for the individual. However, no matter what the media, I'd suggest that if it's not very good, you should keep it to yourself - sort of like adolescent poetry. Anything you put out there is open to scrutiny and just criticism. And in this case, I find the general premise so naff that I can't take it seriously.
I guess it all comes down to (what I consider to be) good art and bad art. This falls into the latter.
For example, I don't play my guitar in public, because I'm not very good and my performance would demand people to say: "What are you murdering there? Christ, you're not very good, are you?"
The original riff might be great, but in the hands of a bumbling amateur, it becomes risible. |
