8/31/99 - SOLD!  to an unnamed buyer in Seattle, go figure.

Filter Feeder

1997-99

This is one that I came back to after a couple years and painted over.  As bad as it is now, it was worse before.  Some things just can't be fixed. 

"Jeez, actually it's magnificent in its way. Embarrasment of the artist is just the price he pays as he tries things...This BAD ART page is a worthwhile selection to include for the viewer."  Abba Solomon   7/30/99

 

I just payed a visit to your website, and of course the first place I
clicked through to was the "Bad Art" section (glutton for punishment). I
have no business critiquing art since I know very little about the subject,
but had to send along my comments just the same. I do have to say that I
agree with you on many of the pieces in this section, BUT don't think that
Filter Feeder belongs here. This painting is amazing! Obviously someone
else thought so to since it has been sold. This piece would fit in
beautifully with the decor at a House Of Blues restaurant.

HAHAHAHAHA

Nice Try jennifer, that is probably the worst compliment you could give

an artist! "Your art looks like it would be good enough to fit in with

other shitty corporate art." I actually feel bad about this girl's

comment, but the fact remains, the painting is not very good. Well

placed, here in the Bad Art section.  Cody Darling, 2/17/04

 

I kind of like this painting.Looked at it right away. Must be the colors.

Just something about it.

Things are, by their nature, both meaningless and life itself. And that's the tragedy of waking and sensing all that is around us. We fail; we succeed. All these things are private and internal. Comparing them with work by others is of no relevance, and nor should it be.

As an outsider looking in through your window, I see these colours, these ornate forms, and it fills me with wonder. I paint mazes in gold and red because they are what obsess me. But I look at your work, even these failures, and I see a vibrancy of imaginings. The movement of the hand guided by a mind that has seen too much. All I can do is be inspired by your work.

Filter Feeder is not what I'd call Bad Art. It looks more like you struggled with it to bring some sense of firmness to it but gave up. I'd say reclaim it from the owner and rework it. There is something about Filter Feeder that feels alive and not merely a static image. Let it live! I dare you.
