"Stand By" (Acrylic on Canvas)


I hated this the moment I saw it.

But then I managed to find a Silver Lining. This gimmicky, faux-clever (i.e. stupid) painting is, either intentionally or unintentionally, maybe/kinda/sorta ironic? Or Meta? Like...the canvas has no actual art happening on it, right? So there's this old-school television message "Please Stand By", as if maybe the artist poking fun at himself/herself, but essentially saying "I got nuthin: Please Stand By". Or like..."Art" itself, concept/purpose/relationale-wise, is broken and Out of Order? Perhaps?

Maybe not.
