So, I promise I will get to my "2-4-Tuesday" later today, but I wanted to say this about the art world: some people have odd ideas that end up looking really awful, some people have odd ideas that end up looking really cool.
Whatever your take on the modern movement in art is, there are two things that I think will stand out to you in these painting from Nick Gentry: First, he seems to be a pretty good painter. He has a good grasp on composition and though he uses color more as a highlight than a component, it does work. I don't know if I would call any of his works "beautiful", but they are intriguing. And that is my second point. His paintings would be just "okay" if it weren't for his choice of medium. It's like buying a bottle of wine because of the label... it doesn't make the wine any better, but, even if the wine isn't that great, at least you got a cool bottle.
What do you think?
