]]> Comment on Investigating Provisional Art in Kensington’s Fjord Gallery by Philip High http://www.theartblog.org/2012/05/investigating-provisional-art-in-kensingtons-fjord-gallery/comment-page-1/#comment-32225 Philip High Fri, 18 May 2012 00:04:40 +0000 http://www.theartblog.org/?p=28645#comment-32225 On the whole, I find these an enjoyable, even if short-lived, experience. But i can't quite make myself see them as "the start of something new." I mean, hasn't this come along every 10-15 years for over a century? With different rhetoric of course. Not that I'm complaining. It's probably necessary and healthy. Flavors need contrast as well as contemplation to be fully appreciated. But newness is after all, an entirely subjective experience, and not necessarily of any greater value. On the whole, I find these an enjoyable, even if short-lived, experience.

How long do we have to put up with provisional? When will we get to the real? 'energetic and exuberant'...'these paintings feel like the start of something new'... crap, seen it all before. You mistake literalness for genuine visual accomnplishment. All these paintings are really boring. Dull, Dull, Dull. Get real. These artists are in need of some good critical dialogue. Its not all fine with abstract painting. Not again! How long do we have to put up with provisional? When will we get to the real?
