Not quite sure what to say about the pop art episode. I'm kinda underwhelmed.
The winning piece by Young didn't really stir my senses. I mean, it's a computer graphic printed on canvas and stretched over a large frame. So what?

The Sucklord's Charlie Sheen inspired piece was, again, hard for me to get excited over. His idea may have had merit but he lost me when he filled dollar store hand soap bottles full of red liquid to create tiger blood.

I was surprised to learn that the guy is 42! He is definitely an 8 year old trapped in an adult's body.
So much of the artwork seems to be conceptual and it kinda seems like many of them have just given up with trying to do something amazing. Using photography, especially when it isn't your typical medium, is the easy way out.
The more I watch this show, the more I realize how much I hate themed art exhibits. I understand why galleries choose to host them, but you end up getting artwork that is coaxed around a hokey theme rather than getting really great art.
I'm hoping to really be inspired by something this season...and so far I'm not.
On a darker note, Kymia's story about how her father died was heartbreaking. OMG that was hard to watch.
Hoping for more excitement next week!
Blah.
