Dude is brilliant. Notice how easy it is for him to speak about his work. Don't be fooled by what you "see" when you refuse to explore what is in front of you.

[@donnadonnyy]

So true.

[@PicassoStar1]

@BLACKBRUSHTV Good point. As a painter I totally agree how hard it is to compete against centuries of painting, The big difference or advantage is how we see the world differently than painters of centuries past..I'd like to thing painter see the world differently and the art reflects that difference, hence a different kind of painting. And yes, speculators with a great mind for marketing can make an artist a star!

I like the way he lights up the cigarette in the beginning of the video. Listen up people. I have something important to paint.

[@metokyo4960]

Unfortunately that’s it

[@smogharbel]

we cannot hear what he is saying

[@PicassoStar1]

Can't blame myself. I do understand. Artistic success is relative. Your response proves my point. I’m increasingly disturbed to the point of diminishing returns. Some good douche American revolutionary Capitalistic literature and John Cage Sonata V for piano should do the trick!

[@inezdruminez4196]

The sound is horrible, so I had to observe the gestures….

[@PicassoStar1]

@Egonsch12 Yeah, I understand your point here. I'm thinking that about everything that can be painted has been painted and painters are finding it hard to change and keep things fresh. All honest painters bring their own vision to the canvas, but the best some painters can hope for is paint in a genre that may come back in vogue. Abstract Expressionism anyone?

[@CaitlinSewsSometimes]

He was very self righteous and rude, but that doesn't mean he can't be your hero :) Art can come before the artist, just depends on how you look at it.

[@knolselderij]

tjee kom ik maar zo ongegeneerd belangrijk doen.......

[@TheBassHeavy]

Stylish video.

[@rustysnails]

Television Generation: impoverishment of experience, abundance of imagery.

[@SlavaKomisaroff]

good art!

[@PicassoStar1]

I am getting increasingly disturbed over the trend of artistic lazyness by artists in today's world....artists who create mediocre art with little effort and little time and it becomes accepted as major work. Not sure who to blame: The artists? The museums? The galleries? The public?And please, do not try to tell me I don't understand. I don't need to recite my artistic success to prove my point.

[@DarkAngelEU]

It is only perceived as mediocre because it is not as familiar to you as if it would be from another time. Old art is made very accurate but has little content, today it's the other way around. It's only a matter of taste what you prefer but the trend is that today the art world prefers people who can theorize and produce work that is not as powerful than people who are not very artculate but at least know how to create something that is very powerful on a visual level. You should thank Duchamp for taking away your precious eye candy and turning it into a fountain.

[@tonkotsu6665]

Effort and time do not constitute for great art. Which was a constraining definition of art to be honest. This is what modernity has always aimed for. Art focussed on skill is often empty, boring, is a little dumb and has nothing to say other than ‘oh look how well i can do this thing’ besides, your standpoint comes perhaps from a certain internalized relation to ‘labour’ Nonetheless, the art world is full of shit. Ill give you that, and you can fully decide for yourself who belongs to that fullness.

Painting or talking

[@Weegrolol]

@PicassoStar1 lol you cant hate ppl like basquiat who probably started it

[@PicassoStar1]

@Weegrolol You are probably correct, but the thing is I enjoy Basquait

[@Weegrolol]

@PicassoStar1 lol this is true the comparison makes this guy look like a robot

[@tonkotsu6665]

Everything about this man is so depressing haha

[@BLACKBRUSHTV]

@PicassoStar1 Your right probably to a degree, there will always be lazy artists. They dont last i think. But you have to understand lets say if you are a painter, it very hard to compete with centuries of painting. And the world has changed enormous, secularization still is the big problem in my eyes. Who to blame? maybe the speculators on the art market who drive up the value of a work, by an artist they think is good.

[@MrChubbington]

I found interesting what he said. I think his art is 'uninteresting ' hence he has a great dialogue to back it's weakness and uninterest .Galleries love him but do galleries know what art is today? Murakami? Koons ? Emin? Hirst? etc The crap fro China? Lets get real people.........We are back in the dark ages..

[@DarkAngelEU]

We are at the start of something terribly new and in that way your argument is correct. Early medieval artwork is also rubbish compared to what was made a thousand years later, nonetheless it was the start of something new that people worshipped just as equally for what it stood, not how it looked.

[@joselaveriano6284]

Luc has a belly.

[@anamaartineez4960]

unintelligence personified

[@donnadonnyy]

Why?

[@belbras]

lazyness? blasé maybe?
