That Dave Warnke painting surprisingly reminds me of one of the paintings in The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) entitled "MORE!"

I feel a similar reaction to a lot of art. Not just gallery-style art, but a lot of movies and other kinds of entertainment too. I always use the examples of Raging Bull and Leaving Las Vegas. Sure, there's a lot of intense passion and powerful emotions there, but I hate those movies because they're just not enjoyable (to me). Other folks are welcome to enjoy such stuff, but like you say foamy, I can't help wondering why!
BTW, back to the subject line, I'm sure a lot of people here are already familiar with Seonna Hong, but here's her site anyway. My wife and I love her Princess series from a couple years ago.

aquarj, how'd you get that? That particular version was only up for a few minutes.
And I still want to know.
Seonna Hong's work is the antithesis. I think it's pretty nice. Super clean. Innocent. It makes ya feel good just seeing it.

The Bohemians
Were they rebels? Were they artists? Were they outcasts from society? They were all of these. They were The Bohemians.
These Bohemians, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Williams, and their seven children, Biff, Tina, Sparky, Louise, Tuffy, Mickey, and Biff Number Two, lived in a notorious artists' colony and planned community.
Naturally, the bohemians' existence thrived on creativity. Early in the morning, Mrs. Williams would rise and create breakfast. Then, Mr. Williams, inspired by his wife's limitless energy, would rush off to a special room and create tiny hairs in a sink. The children would create things, too. But being temperamental artists, they would often flush them away without a second thought.
But the bohemians' creativity didn't stop there. Mr. Williams would then rush downtown and create reams and reams of papers with numbers on them and send them out to other bohemians who would create special checks to send to him with figures like $7.27 written on them.
At home, the children would be creating unusual music, using only their voices to combine in avant-garde, atonal melodies.
Yes, these were the bohemians. A seething hot-bed of rebellion - the artists, the creators of all things that lie between good and bad.

Great thread!
I too like Belgian artist, Matto. Here's his new website and some samples of his work:
http://www.matto.be/
And what ever happened to artist Kaoru Iwasa? Did she disappear off the face of the earth?
