For this awareness post I'm going to mix it up and talk about an artist that I dislike! Recently I've been trying to find more local artists that have a sort of abstract/expressionist/non-objective body of work. Along this journey I ran across Inge Strack so I went to her website to check out her work. Immediately I disliked her paintings. This sounds harsh, but I think it can be a good think to know what kind of art I dislike so I can focus on making art that isn't like it. Personally, I think her work is very childish. It includes a lot of bright colors that I do not think look nice together and her compositions and subjects also seem childish to me. Her craftsmanship is incredible I simply dislike the overall vibe of her paintings. Also, I feel like her pieces have too much texture. Texture is great, but her entire paintings are covered with the same pattern of texture that makes it look like she painted on a surface that was already like that. She definitely put work into her art and if she has a passion for it then I applaud her for pursuing her dreams. I simply just don't like her work.
