Work of Art (Season 2) Episode 1 (In 3 parts)
Work of Art 2 - Episode # 1 / Part 1 by WorkOfArt
The only reason why I would be watching BravoTV's WORK OF ART (promos posted here / episode 1-vids courtesy of Chris Inoue's headsup) would be because The Sucklord is in it. And I cannot believe I ended up liking it - as much as I currently abhor "reality tv" (ah heck, tis my goggle-box guilt-trip these days) - the underlying implosion from everyone, is suddenly alluring to look forward to. So much bravado and angst! And at the very least I re-learnt a few new terms, like "thrift shop art" … hope subsequent eps would be updated-n-uploaded online tho…

I think The Sucklord may run into some problems later with the judges, as he's referencing stuff they simply don't relate to.
ReplyDeleteOne of the key themes to his White Rider piece - in my view - is in its name. The original painting depicts Gandalf the Grey before his rebirth as Gandalf the White. Just as Gandalf is transformed in the book, so too the depiction of the character is transformed from grey/kitsch to white/art. They simply didn't understand that.
Anyway, I hope The Sucklord sticks around a while longer, as he seems to be the only one who's in on the joke that is the art world.
