It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's technically very impressive, and the artist is obviously very skilled, but I don't think it's good in terms of being interesting art

[–] HotSoda@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone know who the artist is? I'm curious what else she's done.

I can see where you're coming from. How everything is flowing, the fabric and the hair, is interesting to me though. But I'm biased, I used to sculpt. So maybe the skill on display is all I need. I wonder if she's done anything that might be more interesting in a different way.

Yeah looks like you're right.
She found her niche, that's for sure. All "woman in flowing lace in bronze". Which is cool. I always wanted to do a bronze sculpture. I have no talent compared to Luo Li Rong though.

This one is cool. What do you think?

That shit is BRONZE??? Holy shit! What amazing work

About the same as the other one. There's no doubt she's good as hell at what she does, but it isn't really for me. Probably id appreciate it on a technical level more if I had the experience you have

There's an artist I have to show you guys. Idk if anyone will like his stuff, but it's definitely interesting. I can't think of his name right now, but I'll try to tag you when I do.

[–] Clownade_drinker@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

His name is Jackson pollock

it's a pretty realistic impression of a woman I don't think it's bad to like art like it

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Realism for realism's sake is boring

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

That's a perfectly reasonable opinion but realism as a movement is defined by which part of reality the artist chooses to depict and that's where the artistic expression comes in.

realism is in art history the begining of the modern art movement and rejected traditional ideas about what could be depicted in art.

This person chose to depict a woman in a flowy dress, which I also don't find especially interesting

There is basically nothing interesting in terms of content about this, it's just horny with bordering-on-cartoonish anatomy and good cloth and hair. It doesn't express anything except objectification laundered through technical ability and detail.
