The problem is you. You lack the sophistication to appreciate art.

Art is about creating discussion, not esthetics and beauty. True art should make you feel uncomfortable and make you question the society you live in.

If it doesn't make you cringe it's not art.

End sarcasm.

The kids in the sculpture remind me of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies. It’s hot in Mordor.

As a famous art critic once stated: That is some ugly-ass art.

Shrks have only been around 450 million years. Having survived the age of the dinosaurs and several ice ages and interglacial period, of course they will now melt when the seas rise by 2 mm.

It has been said, “I can’t define ‘art’, but I’ll know it when I see it.”
This isn’t art.

I’ve been to Amsterdam and I’ve seen public art that should draw more criticism (but doesn’t).

The art world has gone Woke. Is this artist Black, or come from the alphabet group? Talent is no longer a consideration.

Remember the new normal.
It’s okay to topple public art we don’t like.
If they can take down President Grant and Lincoln, and an elk, we can take down their garbage.

Art is about creating discussion, not esthetics and beauty. True art should make you feel uncomfortable and make you question the society you live in.

Art is to only make straight white Christian males uncomfortable.

Any art which makes blacks, Muslims, or gays uncomfortable will be destroyed (like the statues of dead white males were torn down across the country over the past year).

The best I can say is that it is not as bad as it could have been.

If he’s trying to save the shark, he might put it back in the water.

Btw, that boy has some weird-ass legs. Artistic license or ineptitude?

Communists have long wanted to make art meaningless so people don’t believe in anything; are easier to take over.
