I wrote an article for Artlog on an emerging movement I’m dubbing “Art Pop” - a style more intent on bursting bubbles than creating them.
Then I went and made these spirit animal remix photoshops. Head over to Artlog to make some sense of them, maybe. The post has been stirring some pots and twiddling some thumbs:
Art Pop Comedian Marc Maron tweeted “Wild!”
Magda Sawon, owner of Postmasters gallery, which represents William Powhida tweeted “Excellent!”
Art Pop artist Jennifer Dalton tweeted: This is hilarious, thx @NicRad. My ‘spirit animal’ is freaking me out though
Social entrepreneur and generally-awesome-and-righteous-dude-as-far-as-I-can-tell-from-his-digital-presence Jeff Stern tweeted “Intro sounded ?? but content looks great”
Manish Vora, founder of Artlog and Shop Grey Area considered Charles Saatchi’s recent article titled ‘The Hideousness of the Art World’ and mused: art pop or art hypocrisy?
Zachary Cohen, digital maniac, engaged me in a twitter dialogue that involved Late Capitalism and Tim Tebow and was too erratic and truncated to follow for even the guy who created a pseudo album cover and spirit animal photoshop remixes as a gimmick to propagandize about something he’s calling Art Pop, but Zach contains multitudes, so what are you gonna do?
Feel free to ask your own Art Pop questions here. I’ll probably answer with photoshop. Sweet.
