Review:

If the criteria for making this exhibition "bad" is simply because the reviewer has lost or never
possessed the ability to be able to think of a "worse" [worst sic] big exhibition, this is hardly
substantive provenance that the works are inferior or corrupted in some way.
To simply spew words about your own opinion without comparing or questioning your own viewpoint, the
artists intention or the nature of "bad" art is without a doubt a baby mouse turd on the moon.
Ed Ruscha was loosley posited among other pop artists of the so called 1960's but Ruscha was a Los
Angeles based artist in an age when there were far fewer aspirational wannabee's. In order to
present the idea that Ruscha was or is a Bad Artist there needs to be a better study of his work by
the critic, Odd Media uses unorthodox media, Motifs in Light examines a different sphere of Ruscha's
range, Word Paintings take on many guises through his career. He never applied to perform on X
Factor or indulged in the gauge of hyperbole now dispensed as unbiased information.
