what a wonderful insight into his process. his larger works are deeply moving and evocative to me and learning how he uses technology to conceive of the layers gives me a deeper appreciation and understanding of them.

What do you hear Rembrandt and Leonardo saying as they look at these works of crap. Remember the story of the Empire's new clothes.....it took a child to say what it was really all about. You people are being sucked in......this is nothing but skibbles, and blobs of pure rubbish. A child in grade 1 would have a much better perspective on these subjects....it would be honest. This is just insulting to paint brushes and canvasses for them to be used in this manner.

I don't get it. Nobody says this about someone like, lets say, De Kooning. Whose work is both abstract and figurative. I don't understand why figurative abstract work gets so much hate these days.

@@casket8530 It's not the figurative abstract art. It's the work, it's what's presented. If it looks too much like arts and crafts from some highschool, it tends to turn me off big time. Even if it was done by the mighty de Kooning. Still, I praise the fact that you are showing non mainstream artists. And thank you for replying.

@@casket8530 totally agree. I think artists that go against the norm are automatically labelled as bad, and discredited by the masses, who are pretty uninspired to begin with. It’s the mark of a great artist. People hate the new because it breaks down everything they’ve come to understand. It’s too much for them to comprehend. Art is in constant flux and will always upset people, maybe because they feel left behind. We need to try and appreciate even a fragment of something we dislike, that is how we learn, become better, and open ourselves to the manifoldness of art. Thanks so much for such a condensed and informative video on nava. There isn’t much on him but this guy will be remembered as one of the great painters of our era.

@emkiandthesundolls7572 жыл бұрын
To say it rubbish is undermining and rejecting not only an accomplished artist but a new way of building forms with figurative and expressive mark making. Roa is okay, but nava has actually mastered what roa is doing, and is doing it to perhaps a more detailed and complete degree. He is making art fun for artists, and fun art. Art should be these things, not over intellectualised, conceptual bullshit. Although interesting at times ‘good art’ can often be so unresponsive to the viewer. you may find yourself deskilling your own practice when ideas run out. Because understanding and reading ‘bad art’ the nuances of naive are so varied and personally I think it is essential in the process of understanding good art. And trust me, nava is a singular talent, and will be revered for years.

There is no child-like innocence in his art. Or any art that are like this one. The artist MIMICS the output of a child. That is creepy. If there are anything that can be said to their practice is that they prey on the innocence of the children. And the foolish art critics circle around these type of art, and put meaning to it, to say that it's deep. Wherein fact it is jot deep, it is just an idea be it an experience, or idealism, or whatever, done in a pathetic mimicking of children's innocence. It is called bad art for a reason.
@emkiandthesundolls7572 жыл бұрын
Shouldn’t the artist especially the painter aim for the way a child sees the world? Yeah he mimics it, but his output speaks for itself. You’ll love him in years to come. Art critics love him Because he is doing new things, and children are good but there’s more to nava than simple mimicry😂

@@arjayfritzponcardasart may I ask how long you’ve painted? Because I don’t think you’re seeing beyond the childlike nature of the work and actually looking at what he is doing technically. Try it. Trying to paint as a child would, as an adult, is a faculty we forget. It’s something very difficult to regain in adulthood. I urge you to try and do it. You may unlock your own creative spark. But right now you react too instinctively without taking the time to wrestle your instinct and attempt to understand his work. He mimics a child is not a valid argument. I leave you with a very well known and overused, cliche quote. It tools me four years to paint like Raphael, and a lifetime to paint like a child-Picasso. I hate myself for writing that, but it’s entirely relevant.
@emkiandthesundolls7572 жыл бұрын
One more thing- cliche time: Art can be anything. Art is the individuals experience and perception of their given reality. If its ‘just an idea or an experience’ that’s okay. Masterpieces have been made off the back of them.

Just watched video on "unlearning" formal training. Because I was a single mom I didn't do a lot of training. Tho did offer art classes for kids and was greatly inspired by their creativity. Now I'm in Santa Fe and seeing what I can do... if only for my own satisfaction. I think that by doing art now I bring a rich history of experience that I wouldn't have if I'd finished art school in my 20s.
