Guest Iain C Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think I prefer Macaulay Culkin ~ artist to Macaulay Culkin ~ dying heroin addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have to say, I am impressed. I really like it all, and I have seen a lot of art in my day. it's hard to tell how much of it was done with a sense of humor, and how much of it is just weird and fucked up, and IMO, that is not a bad thing.

spratters Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think I prefer Macaulay Culkin ~ artist to Macaulay Culkin ~ dying heroin addict. From the look of it he was playing both when producing this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyrofen Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I went to an art museum once and there was a painting, on canvas, where the whole canvas was red with a single black square offset down and to the right from the center. At least Culkin's paintings are generally interesting due to how strange they are. I only hope that not all of them were meant to be incredibly symbolic or "~so deep~" because that'd make some of them really stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patternoverlap Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 soooo, stylistically it's Clive Barker imitating Basquiat if he were in Fort Thunder, with a Family Guy level of pop culture references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The Death Star, an upside-down Macaulay Culkin cubist head, and a Steven Tyler doppelganger hang above a barren landscape of broken amusement park rides.

Guest Xenblake Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 This is all so surprising, I thought Culkin was dead! Not that I could do a better job, but these paintings are pretty awful. Looks like he's hanging with the wrong hipsters, e.g that dude with the mario t-shirt and dodgy moustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I like the one of Bazooka Joe in the bathtub with the ark of the covenant. The way he uses color on the bottom pattern (I think there is a technical term for this kind of exercise in art school, but I don't know) is actually really pleasing to look at. It is also interesting how he uses pop icons and zeitgeists in his work, as he is one of them. I also wonder what his fascination with golden chalices is. *edit* Oh. I see. It's not just him. I need to learn to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
