The concern here is not to represent an event or anything of interest whatsoever, but rather to depict a generic concrete ball, onto which horribly pretentious and wanking art reviewers can project. The perspective is not so carefully calculated unless you are willing to ignore several lines which fail to converge on a point of interest and the central element in no way responds to the curve of the road as there isn't one there... I mean, literally. I know where this is and there is no fucking road there. The large scale of the work, proportioned to the human body, evokes a sense of immersion in the scene but only if you squint your eyes and jiggle your head around like a fool."Kelsey Wagnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198022.post-49176593815337378742010-07-05T21:31:30.921-07:002010-07-05T21:31:30.921-07:00You clearly know "Jack" about art.You clearly know "Jack" about art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
