A lot of people on Instagram are praising this artist. Can any other fellow artist here tell me what the fuck I’m missing or is this just more money laundering ? The artist is Robert Nava

    I’m not saying stuff needs to realistic and I personally hate photo realism with a few exceptions, but this? There’s so many fake basquiat and people intentionally making “bad” paintings already on Instagram. Why’s this special?

      IDK, this guy got a MFA from Yale art school, and fulfills every stereotype imaginable for an up and coming Brooklyn 'artist'. So I think a lot of people look at those credentials and think, "hey everybody else thinks this guy's special so he must be".
