From: gillette Category: Art Date: 09 June 2008 Time: 05:44 PM Review: ah the grotesequerie of the hobbyist, not a moment of real pain, or the remotest connection to. aesthetic ugliness is not even a metaphor for real ugliness, just an art school idea that similar words add depth or meaning because they can be applied to very different events (an ugly artwork: hell by chapmen, an ugly event: the holocaust). simple minded philosphy. nihilism would be them to give up, not make meretricios art works. distancing and irony exist everywhere and always and so chapmen are not showing it with their work anymore than anything else, and thus it is irrelevant comment on human evil. big brother says more about human suffering than they.
