Drugs and alcohol were definitely involved. Thought it had too much faux campy stuff I've seen b4, gallery art about gallery art. I mean it's a B, nothing in terms of class, gender race that knocks me out. So what did u find interesting? As Gayatari Spivak use to say, 'It has to be on the threshold of something.'

And is it even acceptable to produce a body of work that is difficult to absorb without actually being there? Do we remember the feeling of having to SEE it? And is student work BAD? Necessarily? I mean, I'm a dick too, a hater, but I'm curious what people mean when they say what they say...especially when they say, like, ddeeerrrrrrrrrrr....Klimt's slides=THE MALL, but to SEE it, is like, boom. Do we HAVE to comment by proxy to be, like, INVOLVED IN THE DIALOGUE? Isn’t it possible to comment on artworld/regular world without a grad degree?

I really like this guy's work. These paintings in particular I like more than the last I've seen because it looks as though he's really letting go of the figurative the way he used to see it, and trying even harder to impress us with color.
