    If this lad was trying to prove he's hard as nails, he's sure passed the teste.


    I achieved 'veteran' status on here today.

    All modern artists are arseholes and twats.

    They produce **** and then start rattling on about "metaphor". The only applicable metaphor is for their complete lack of any discernible skill.

    Really grinds ma ****in gears, it does. <grr>

    Hmm the juxtaposition of the unmade bed against that of the intensely blue cleanliness of the rug makes one question one's views on morality in an idiosynchratic world.

    And one has to question who was in this bed last. Or more intriguingly has no-one been it and it's just a rous? If there was someone in the bed perhaps thy have become distraught with life and possibly thrown themselves from a balcony or out of a window.

    What one can glean fronm this all is not as it seems.

    It works on all levels and makes one question all the stablished idioms.

    Food for thought indeed.

    Doesn't she pish and ****e all over her bed artwork?

    My favourite of all time would have to be the submarine constructed in tyres.

    One has to set aside one's preconceptions and move on a different planar axis altogether. One has to detach one's self from the norm and the sane and enter one's innermost dark chasms to fully appreciated what that was made to make us think.

    Tracey Emin's work fuses chaos with order, with lines and shapes laid randomly - at first glance. Closer inspection gradually reveals that a set of rules governs the placement of shapes and the choice of colors. Thus, the artist challenges the viewer to explore the rules encoded in the subconscious that shape our aesthetics, to consider why we find beauty in the juxtaposition of chaos and order.

    Rather than any implied meaning or message, the minimalist nature of these pieces encourages the viewer to consider the visual qualities of the work - the composition, surfaces, textures and the relationship of depicted space to line and form. In simplicity, art becomes more direct and incisive in its dissection of the human mind, a more lucent mirror of our collective subconscious.

    Absolutely right.

    At least there are two of us lateral thinkers on here who can appreciate modern art and access the portholes of possibility in an estranged world.
