@mckay_williamson: Can a clever process make an ordinary image extraordinary? Bradley Hart injects thousands of bubbles with paint, creating intricate portraits and reinterpretations of famous paintings. His story is inspiring, too. I admire his ingenuity, but as you'll see, I have mixed feelings about the Narrative. And a small correction to the video: I playfully described his mobility scooter prints as lithographs. The technically correct term would be monoprints. And I feel suitably embarrassed. #IsItArt #BradleyHart #ContemporaryArt #ArtHistory #ArtCriticism
Lets cut the bullshit. Rothko paintings dont show hope or loneliness or anything for that matter. And saying it does either makes you pretentious or a straight up bullshitter

Anyone who uses Rothko as an example is just bullshitting you know

Does he freehand to map out the colors or does he use an app

I think what you haven't taken into account the way your vision changes with MS. By taking popularist subject matters and having differently and increasingly abstracted is highly relevant. This is an important additional layer apart from choosing a saleable subject.

all the rothko hate in these comments.... thank u for using him as an example of a great artist who depicted his emotions n thoughts in his original and beautiful manner and not reducing him to 'well, squares of color = bad and meaningless' like everyone does.

Subjects should be important people or places from his personal past linking in with his ideas about memory

Definitely agree on the subject matter. I’m not sure Rothko is the best example. Rothko is process and presentation

As an artist and art teacher, I agree with you about him making art of master paintings and celebrities. AP Studio for high school discourages that too!

I'm not sure Rothko is the best comparator- I've always found his pieces rather empty. But art is subjective, isn't it?

It’s interesting you say you want to see what Bradley has to say as if to say something’s missing (only my interpretation though so may not be what you intended or meant). I would argue that the work Bradley is doing is presenting something akin to oral story-telling traditions except with painted art. A lense is being placed on works already told and through that lense, there’s imperfections to the original story being told that Bradley is creating, either actively or passively. It’s almost like Bradley’s single pieces need to also be viewed in context of all pieces, both the three resulting artworks, his entire history of work, and the physical conflict he experiences within his own body and mind. Again, my interpretation, open to others.
