I’m in love with this artist right now.
Olaf Breuning’s Why Can You Not Be Nice With Nature? (2008), mounted c-print on 6mm sintra, 60 by 75 inches; Fire (2008), mounted c-print on 6mm sintra, 60 by 75 inches; Miami Sphinx (2008), graphite on paper, 11 by 8 1/2 inches; Helicopter Hair (2008), mounted c-print on 6mm sintra, 60 by 75 inches.
At Metro Pictures in New York. (Gallery site, with more images, here.)
I swear I saw helicopter hair bouncing around the internet more than a year ago in one of those 'look how ridiculous black people are' posts
That helicopter hair is just a copy of an internet meme that's been around since before 2005; I remember seeing the original picture on Fark years and years ago, usually tied to ridiculous prom outfits.
Should also add that the original is better because that girl had a motor inside that twirled the top prop.
Interesting ideas? Sure. Execution=sucky. Talent is a prerequisite for good art, and that is a characteristic this person appears to lack. The lazy computer generated flames? Lame. Half-assed drawing? "Oh, but he's giving a commentary on the..." Give me a break. Learn to draw. Realism isn't necessary, but this is just so obviously bad.
EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE! I love it!
