I have seen his art before it gets the same reaction from me every time. "Sure you are like soooooo edgy". His stuff is like the most basic bitch "countering the narrative" art. Nothing about it is that interesting or unique, most stand up feature being awkward posing. Like comparing it something like Tom of Finland, that while yes is greatly about gays has recognizable style and can do other topics beyond "white man bad, native good".
I checked out the gallery on his site, and you must be right. Many of his paintings are not even erotic but pornographic and depict Natives in an unflattering way. It is ridiculous that he manages to pass off his work as ‘socially conscious’ or whatnot. Those paintings are not technically impressive either; rather shite work, as is usual for fetish art.
Great job Trudeau. You kissed the injuns asses and now they're raping yours. Remember this lesson, Kiwis.
idk while the message of them is eye rollingly on the nose, I think they show artistic merit. They're well realised naturalism and do show a flair for composition and colour, plus
I think it's an excellent painting. I will keep it in mind next time I hear a savage bitch about communism or whatever they like to squak about. My ancestors had reasons for killing theirs, this among many. Thank you, Mr. Monkman, for reminding me why your people are nigh extinct and mine rule the world.
Look at the [HIV] positive - this is a great opportunity. This dumb fetishist prioritizes jerking off, getting attention and being spiteful above delivering his message in an effective and convincing manner. The result is art like this - that's just waiting for appropriation from the opposition. Imagine a bunch of right wingers posting this (cropped, lol) in response to every dumb, cucked tweet Trudeau puts out. In art, context can change everything. And this would be devastating. Not only are you calling Justin a cuck bending over to anyone with skin darker than a paper bag (who are in turn gleeful in their sadism), you are using leftist art to do so - in the process smearing this artist with the rightwing label, the only 'insult' that would actually for real hurt him. Anything else is either a point of pride for a person like that or fuel for the victim mill. Your attacks also gain a bit of resistance to banning (as long as you crop out the actual buttsex) since they can't as easily accuse you of spreading "harmful rightwing propaganda".
What jumps out to me as ‘bad art’ is how everything he paints is stilted and flat. I suspect that he abuses references to the point of copying photographs. Three things make me think so. The first is the contrast between detailed figures and smudged backgrounds. The second is how unsteady the figures are, not being planted in their surroundings. The third is how simplistic and stiff his sketches are.
I assume the intent is to recontextualise the historic acts of sexual violence against natives. A lot of the paintings either show white people as the perpetrators of sexual or sexualised violence
I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. At least in the one article I saw when I googled him earlier his explanation (when he was presenting some mealymouthed apology for his Trudeau rape-o-rama) was that native women are raped at a gorrilion % higher rate than others. I'm pretty sure it ain't the mounties that are rapin' them tho.
