Response To
This Is Not A Photograph

kaworu876 7 months agoNot that this isn’t technically impressive in terms of detail and technique, but it’s not exactly… uh… saying much. And unfortunately because it’s such a perfect reproduction of a photo, it has little aesthetic value over a photo. Since this is such a painstaking process, it begs the question…. wouldn’t taking a photo be an easier way to achieve the same aesthetic effect? Comparing him to, say, an accomplished artist (Picsso, whatever) is just a joke. Picasso did unique and innovative things and created great Art - with a capital A. This fellow from Spain clearly has impeccable technique, which is great. But it does not equate to great art or thought-provoking art or viscerally moving art or emotional art or… etc. I might respond more favourably if the image shown weren’t in the Maxim Magazine photographic style of pseudo-softporn closeups of beautiful female faces. This piece of “art” isn’t saying much more than “SEE THIS CHICK IS REALLY HOT AND I CAN DRAW HER WITH PERFECT REALISM AND SEE I ADDED WATER SO I CAN SHOW YOU HOW GOOD I AM AT PHOTOREALISTIC TEXTURES SEE SEE”. More or less.

It’s just that people not into art, without any knowledge about art history, technics and any notions of aesthetic would always be amazed by that kind of fun fair show. It’s fun for the masses, but it’s just a bit boring for real amateur & experts. Don’t forget to think a little more, people, beware of all the fake stuff you swallow everyday, it’s helpfull sometime, believe me.

I think that it’s much easier to take a picture in this case, and it’s what it is a mere copy of a picture, i think that there is lack of real creative view, it’s less art than a challenge or technical performance, plus the main features are pre printed on the canvas.
