care to explain why, in intelligent terms? you're an artist, i know you have it in you.


frosted nailed it already..."It's just the obssession with genitalia in art is so very tired".

and these pieces are especially unimaginative and lame.

And it's also just shocking to be shocking. That's been done to death, and better, long ago.

Photographic quality aside (because they are nice photos) there's nothing else to these besides that but "oh my stars! It's pubic fruit*!" reactions. And the baby figure coming out of the . . . whatever rotting fruit that is . . . just looks comical, not artistic.

*Even Curve did it before this photographer.


Art cannot contain humor? Okay.

To be honest, I'd rather look at a photo of a real cock than a pear made to look like one. Just sayin'.

What he said.

And frankly this version just comes across as slightly disturbing to me.


I agree with all of this. I know part of art's M.O. is to provoke some kind of emotional response, so in that sense, yes this is art. Does it appeal to me? No.

I also agree with OPA that if I'm going to look at genitalia, I'd rather see the real deal.

Can I look at it, or is it NSFW?

there's no nudity, if that's what you mean. It's a bit squeamish, tho.

ugh.

There's an obvious joke response to that, but it's so gross that I just tasted my own vomit when I started to type it.
