EEVILMURRAY Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I have to ask, why? Anyone but Kate Moss, she's a piece of ugly druggy shit, who keeps asking us to get the London Look, if it means looking like her I'll pass.. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20080828/tuk-moss-is-solid-gold-supermodel-45dbed5.html
Cube Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Great. Now future generations will think that we're morons and that we worship her as a god.
S.C.G Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Good... Fucking... God... what did the gold ever do to deserve such an unusually cruel fate?
triforcemario Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Christ, talk about a fucking waste of gold. I mean, what's she done to deserve a fracking gold statue of herself. Chuck Norris deserves one more. And if a future civilization does find the Chuck Norris gold statue, at least they'd think we had the most fucking awesome god ever. Period.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Quinn is also known for his sculpture Self - a bust of his head made from eight pints of his own frozen blood. What the fook.
Ramar Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 What happened to an artist who just painted pictures. These days they're a bunch of nutjobs smacked off their tits trying to out do each other.
spirited away Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 What happened to an artist who just painted pictures. These days they're a bunch of nutjobs smacked off their tits trying to out do each other. Quote of the Day. Too fucking right.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 What happened to an artist who just painted pictures. Most of them found photoshop.
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 What happened to an artist who just painted pictures. These days they're a bunch of nutjobs smacked off their tits trying to out do each other. art can be anything, man. Don't be so narrow minded about it.
MoogleViper Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 art can be anything, man. Don't be so narrow minded about it. Yeah it can be anything. But not everything can be good. Why is there a load of shit around that is apparently "good" art?
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 a shit artist will make shit art, no matter the form. it's true of modern art now as much as it was about the ancien greeks who made hack vase work.

What about Piet Modrian's composotions? Do you consider them good art? I like art that actually takes skill. This statue will take skill to make but it's of Kate Moss.
Paj! Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 art can be anything, man. Don't be so narrow minded about it. Quoted for truth. The people criticising it for showing that we worship her, try not thinking of her as some godly being, yourselves. She is the life model for this sculpture, get over it. She has very dramatic features, which are attractive to both look at and to draw/interpret. You wouldn't be complaining if it was a "non-entity" being portrayed. Allthough I've not seen it, it seems to be a piece that would fit into a similar social commentary-esque style of Andy Warhol. As in, documenting the relationship between celebrities and the general public. Dunno.
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 i'm not familar with the name i'm afraid. what's the gist?

It's not like it's of her putting on eyeliner or whatever she promotes in the Rimmel adverts. And Mondrian can rock. When you think about the context etc. Plus not al art needs to have some earth-shattering psychological tale behind it. It can just be nice to look at.

It's not like it's of her putting on eyeliner or whatever she promotes in the Rimmel adverts. How exactly am I on a high horse? Art is supposed to make you think. Why would we want to think of some junkie? And she isn't attractive at all. i'm not familar with the name i'm afraid. what's the gist?
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 isn't it obvious? It's just a comment on celebrity culture. If it wasn't Kate moss, it would be some other limelight figure. who is barely important- it's the media profile she carries that the sculpture is clearly commenting on. keep up...

(Such a fitting comment)

If it wasn't Kate moss, it would be some other limelight figure. who is barely important- it's the media profile she carries that the sculpture is clearly commenting on. keep up... But why should somebody like her even be as big a celebrity as she is? (I know that's not to do with the art just the celebrity culture in general)
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 that's not for the art to answer. In fact, quite the opposite.
MoogleViper Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 that's not for the art to answer. In fact, quite the opposite. Well I suppose I am using this art piece to take it out on. But it does epitomise what is wrong with our celebrity culture.
Paj! Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Well I suppose I am using this art piece to take it out on. But it does epitomise what is wrong with our celebrity culture. *clap* Finally. Unless you already knew that, and just acted like you didn't. I mentioned it earlier, it's like the famous screen-print portraits by Andy Warhol (my interpretation I drew for my coursework last year), although slightly different, in that he was obsessed with them himself too.
BlueStar Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I have to ask, why?! I'd imagine it's obvious, if you're making a statue of a celebrity out of solid gold then if it's anyone other than Kate Moss it's gonna cost a fucking fortune.
Bren Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Hopefully she is encased in this gold, suffocating right now

I mentioned it earlier, it's like the famous screen-print portraits by Andy Warhol (my interpretation I drew for my coursework last year), although slightly different, in that he was obsessed with them himself too. Yeah I knew that. I missed the thing you said earlier. I didn't read anything past the high horse bit.
