After going through the Luc Tuymans show and trying to figure out which one would be my favorite painting I realized i had come to a point where i just couldnt do it. I couldnt force it. Yes, I am saying that I didnt like the Tuymans show. It was too flat for me. the subject matter had to elevation to it. the style of which all the paintings were done in i wasnt too fond of either. it felt sloppy and I dont like the fact that i can tell it was done just over a course of one day. maybe it's not my style, maybe I'm missing something, but I just couldnt get into it. I think I was more interested in this sign:
As a painter I tend look at paintings with a technical approach as well with a metaphoric. So, technically these paintings are not pleasing, they reminded me of the paintings I saw of beginning students back in community college and I remember cringing a little. Now, I am not saying that just because I didn't like the technique that it's a horrible painting...there's just something about these surfacy paintings that bugs me. I just cant fully figure out why. But when I do, I'll get back to you.
But if i were to choose one that was even remotely interesting, and Im going to say that I'm stretching it here, but I would chose Der Architekt.
Why? you ask...
Well, I was very drawn towards the pallet and I like the ambiguity of the subject matter but to a point where you can still tell what it is....
So yeh, thats about it.
