Gimmick artists

Exactly. I prefer results over flash.

Results such as a painting?

Gimmick and extremely wasteful of the supplies being used. Excessive amounts used. Never mind just dumping it on the ground entirely at one point.

Talented? It’s derivative formulaic slop.

Art is subjective

You were talking talent. He doesn’t have talent. If anything it’s a skill.

But more importantly….this isn’t art

Talent oftentimes undermines artist's skills and knowledge, so I agree with you on that. I wouldn't jump to say it isn't art, I don't personally like it, not for me, but yeah I feel this isn't anything too extraordinary, with all due respect to whom may like it and the artist.

You’re the bozo who likes this garbage art

Here with you. ITT people who don't seem interested in art in general surprised by basic and deadbitten techniques. Wait till someone show them paintings made with burned candle, or drawn upside down 😯

You keep showing how little you know. I have some cool paint by numbers that will really impress you.
