(THIS BLOG IS NOT AFFLIATED WITH NOR DOES IT REPRESENT VALUE VILLAGE) Welcome to the (Value) Village Art Gallery. I’m your host, Curator SadHoboClown, and I will be your guide throughout the tour. Here you will find, free of charge, some of the most fantastic and awe-inspiring paintings ever gazed upon by the eyes of mankind. Our intention here is not to make anyone feel bad for having possibly created what many would consider to be bad art: I myself am a would-be artist and I’ve done some truly terrible things with paint and canvas, for which my conscience still plagues me. However: I honestly believe that most of the paintings you will see here can be considered charming: in them you are able to see the stumbling, tottering baby-steps that various artists have taken in the process of learning how to do something they’ve perhaps never done before. The point is that most people can only get better at something if they start out not better at something, right? So even if I’m being a bit of a wise-ass at times, bear in mind that it’s all in fun. Bad Art is still Art! (DISCLAIMER: THIS SITE AND ALL ITS CONTENTS ARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DON'T HAVE A COW, MAN!!!)

Horse and Woman (Acrylic on Canvas)

I could be wrong but I think (?) this person may have also done the triptych we hung here a few weeks back. I ragged on that other one a bit, perhaps unfairly, but eh I write from the gut: get over it. THIS ONE, however, I do kinda like. Not sure why, since Modern-y / PostModern-y / Abstract-y art usually leaves me unimpressed. I like Art to LOOK like stuff, y’know? Anyways, even though this looks like nothing the exists in Reality, it’s pretty cool. Yes, there is BLUE, but there’s no blue and PURPLE. And: the blue that IS there isn’t simply…slopped onto the canvas and rubbed around in a desultory manner as if one was cleaning a toilet with a scrub brush. There are definite signs of Good Taste and Geometry here. And I like the brownish / maroonish / whateveryacallit background. 

Well done, artiste!
