I was painting that kind of art school "homage" bullshit when I was 18 in art school. It's the visual equivalent of one of those "Lo-fi Chill Hip Hop Study Beats 10 Hours" videos on youtube.

Too scared to come across as disrespectful of what came before him, so he references it as literally as possible as often as he can, and in the end comes across more offensive for it because he has nothing new or interesting to say other than "I learned to copy other people's good paintings onto my shit paintings".

I could go off more on his type of bullshit, but I know I used to do the same kind of bullshit (That 3 years where I literally just van Gogh'd all over canvases and claimed I was original)

>>3087608
I didn't say good, I said who you enjoyed.

>>3087619
You enjoy things that aren't good?

>>3087620
You've yet to contribute anything, please feel free. I'd love to see what you enjoy.

You know who else Cesar Santos reminds me of is that rapper Logic. His whole gimmick is that he respects art, so his art is about respecting art, and never says anything original.

Like white kids who go back to the oldest rap music they can find so they can say "I like the GOOD rap". That's what cesar santos does with paintings. He has a serious "le wrong generation" vibe about his work.

>>3087626
Fair enough, but the guy is still relatively fresh out of art school and seems to be trapped in a brooklyn hipster-esque lifestyle so it's understandable that his style is what it is right now. People develop over time and he seems to have a good foundation. Who do you enjoy?

>>3087624
I like watching Giant Bomb videos and listening to that first Spank Rock album. There aren't really any visual artists I'm inspired by. I'm inspired by drawings I did before I hit puberty. 10 year old Brian is my biggest influence

excellent. it doesn't really matter where the inspiration comes from. Do you have any examples of your work?

d'oh didn't see that before I posted my last response.

I won't post my work

yeah that was from when i was like 10 or 11, my new work is basically that too. I paint a lot of robots. Used to paint a lot of boring shit cause "fundamentals" but whatever. I stopped caring.

I don't really have any examples of my work, I do mainly portraits just because I enjoy painting people. I found an old rasta guy on youtube who has a cooking show called "ras kitchen" so I decided to paint him.
This is just the first layer of the underpainting I did, green (mars black + yellow ochre) because of his dark brown skin. I just started roughly laying down values so it's in that real awkward and ugly phase in this picture. I'll try and post an update picture later.

I sure hope you're not suggesting that painting you posted is "cesar santos level"
I simply refuse to believe that one can be dunning-kruger to that level

>>3087602
I don't know any artist that are younger than me.

I'm 18 by the way

im suggesting i got out of that mindset before i spent my entire youth doing glorified collages of other people's paintings.

Look at this work I did in february of this month and tell me there's any difference between this and what Santos is known for. It's identical conceptually. It's "Let me paint something people already know by Picasso, and I'll sneak in some paintings of apples I did on the side"

It's trying to draw attention to your own art by including someone else's, instead of just letting your art stand on it's own.

It's a very self-conscious way to paint that I think every modern artist tries at least once, and it's rote and lame no matter who does it.

>>3087690
I'm curious how you feel about other portrait artists. Tell me what you think of John Singer Sargent.

>>3087708
Or Mark Carder, to use somebody current.

>>3087690

has to be bait

>>3087708
>John Singer Sargent.
talented, ultimately ineffective at portraiture. Best watercolor artist who ever lived but couldn't capture a likeness to save his life

Mark Carder's a hack

van Gogh was the only truly natural portrait artist who ever lived. Maybe Giacometti.

>>3087730
>van Gogh was the only truly natural portrait artist who ever lived. Maybe Giacometti.
ill throw Ingres in there too.
van Gogh at best, Giacometti and Ingres tied for second. don't really have a third.

>>3087730
Okay, what about a celebrated guy like Goya (who I consider to have done rather crude work)?

>>3087602
Cesar is great. I like his painting style, and he communicates well, even though English isn't his first language.

nosebro

>>3087735
Idk goya is weird. He strikes me as a painter who enjoyed painting more than the average famous artist, while not being particularly remarkable. I'll say that painting The Dog was like the most forward thinking painting for the time. That thing was so ahead of everyone else compositionally and predicted what was coming that it alone cements Goya as a visionary. Maybe not the best painter, but definitely a smart guy

wow brian thanks for ruining yet another thread you fucking faggot

its almost as if you guys need to realize that "inspiration" comes from within, and any similarities between your work and the work of other people is either something you've forced or is purely coincidental.

>>3088129
stop making dumb threads that are so easily ruined

Almost all of these people coming from ARC and ateliers are either edgy gimmick hacks, boring realists, or Sargent-wannabes.

>>3088929

He bottled out of rendering the water.

>>3090648
i didn't mean to imply he's bad at painting, just like if you're trying to distinguish yourself as a very good painter why would you do a painting which people are obviously going to compare to a much better one, because even if your painting is very good it'll still be less good, and even if somehow your painting is as good (which this one certainly isn't) then people still aren't going to give you the credit you deserve because the other one is a classic

>>3090657
I think it's meant to be some kind of quotation. Transforming the meaning to fit a modern time. But I am not really sure about it, you'd have to ask him.

He was the fastest and most accurate painter in all of history, get your facts straight.
