It would be well worth it if he did. It would be well worth moving away from a nice benetton (great colors, neutral politics, globalization-Positive) aesthetic and more toward what Mary Shelley intuited. <BR/><BR/>Mixing races and ethnicities may NOT make for a pretty, well-designed picture. Through religion and politics into the mess, you get a pretty fucked-up but richly complicated picture to say the least. <BR/><BR/>The U.S. aids in the construction of frankenstein's every day -- and I'm not talking within the US -- it is almost a national policy -- or should I say national security policy... What about this kind portrait? What kind of horror, and what kind of beauty? <BR/><BR/>Is there any impotant kind of visualization of globalization that escapes the utopia of tastful benetton color schemes that emptily lobbies this rather empty-empty-empty signifier we call 'democracy'. In Chen, I see a beauty that is rather empty - perhaps because they are a little too tasteful and buyable -- It lobbies for a popular buy-in, and it seems to say shit about what this work may 'want' to explore.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Chen has a different outlook, perhaps less bleak. -- I would like to feel an opinion in his paintings. I don't yet, but perhaps I will someday.jpegCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355558084184256062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1143705912838986512006-03-30T03:05:00.000-05:002006-03-30T03:05:00.000-05:00there's a very big difference between mocking or a...there's a very big difference between mocking or altering some symbol and actually changing the lives of real people via this activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1143705172620993672006-03-30T02:52:00.000-05:002006-03-30T02:52:00.000-05:00Art can change people. people are change, when you...Art can change people. people are change, when you're a changer....<BR/><BR/>Haven't you ever made work that subverts the symbolism of the opposition? <BR/><BR/>Yeah, I didn't think so.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1143700718350423182006-03-30T01:38:00.000-05:002006-03-30T01:38:00.000-05:00ughh no wonder lisa yuskavage quit boesky saying t...ughh no wonder lisa yuskavage quit boesky saying that the program there was nowhere. this is kinda nowhere. i looked at the images on line though and i have to say one thing, they're similar to the visual strategy of scott taylor ( cobbling things together w/ wrong scale and surrealist juxtaposition) but WAAAAAYYYYY better than that to look at. yah they DO look like nicky hoberman as someone said. ew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1143700104797532212006-03-30T01:28:00.000-05:002006-03-30T01:28:00.000-05:00How much art addressing social/political issues do...How much art addressing social/political issues does it take to change a light bulb?<BR/><BR/>NONE!

I do think it's important to comment on artists who are big right now, and some of them are great, but depressingly, many of them are more trendy than really interesting. It's encouraging that so many of us on this blog seem to recognise these artists when they are posted, and it would be interesting to see who Painter might come up with to counter that trendiness.
