Art Opinion: ABOUT
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/p/about.html
What is Art Opinion? Art Opinion is an overly critical, unnecessarily nonacademic, and thoroughly elitist discussion between DJR and JDA about your art. Can you discuss my work? Yes Just send it over to either djreinmueller@gmail.com or jdawinslow@gmail.com. We will try to review every submission, but can't promise that at all. Who are JDA and DJR anyway? Is JDA. Winslow and DJR. This illustration should explain it all. Also check out this jazzy press release for further explanation:. JDA and DJR are dis...

Art Opinion: Isaac Nugent: A painting
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012/06/isaac-nugent-painting.html
Monday, 4 June 2012. Isaac Nugent: A painting. When you’re dealing with figurative painting, there’s a neat way of telling how successful a painter is with his/her skills, and one part of it is done by looking at the hands of the figures. As you can see Isaac Nugent scores a 5 ¾ on the scale, which settles him nicely in the midfield of successful art pieces. Fluorescent light bulb used instead of head (silly). Mob not fully recognisable as phallic substitution (disappointing). I think whilst it is clear ...

Art Opinion: July 2012
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 July 2012. JDA: Glasgow School of Art Degree Show. GSA is short for Glasgow School of Art, similar to the way that JDA is short for my name. There are other similarities between the two institutions. Both of us are cool. There was a really fun interactive piece called “Please no photos” where no one could take any photos. Unfortunately the labelling was unclear but I have email Mrs GSA about who did it and hopefully he will be back in touch soon. Animals are inherently ironic. If you can ...

Art Opinion: April 2012
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 April 2012. Sue Beveridge: Destruction of the Lover, 2012. Ikea’s head designers were still not 100% sure about the market for steel skeleton storage units when they commissioned this piece. The conversation they had when it was first presented to them was roughly as follows:. 8220;The title, once this goes into commercial production will of course be “. 8220;One second.”. One high powered Swedish business person had noticed a number of flaws:. 8220;Why is there a skeleton on it? The Germans...

Art Opinion: SUBMIT YOUR ART
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/p/submit-art.html
JDA and DJR will try to take their valuable time off being anti-postmodern bohemians to discuss your art if they deem it worth skipping their jet-ski lessons for. In return you will receive their eternal gratitude for distracting them from their own artistic mediocrity. All art practices welcome. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Art Opinion: May 2012
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 May 2012. Solo Opinion 1: Coping with abstracts. This week, as JDA is away giving a talk on Alt Lit somewhere (which I think is a code for sitting in his mother's house eating hobnobs), I would like to take you on a spiritual journey. A journey I'd like to call:. Here at Art Opinion we receive a lot of great submissions of artworks to discuss and give our balanced and level-headed opinions about. Interestingly we haven't received one single abstract piece yet. His paintings often can instill...

Art Opinion: June 2012
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 June 2012. The guide for the unsuccessful art student (part 1). You just finished your fine art degree, but no one cares. No mentions in the press, no prizes, no gallery offers, no residencies, no sales, no job, no internships, no way to store your degree show piece, no peer recognition, no street cred, no good hair cut, no trendy trousers, no one-night stand after the degree show opening. Don’t commit suicide just yet, though! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Seriously, don’t do it. I...YouR...

Art Opinion: Past Opinions!
http://art-opinion.blogspot.com/2012/05/past-opinions.html
Thursday, 10 May 2012. As me and JDA are still hotly debating your new art submissions, I thought it would be a good time to give a shout-out to those artists we already have discussed! Who could ever forget our very first opinion. On Polygonal Lasso Artist Robbie Penford Baker. We were so taken with it, we reviewed him twice. It also made me obtain a copy of photoshop, and sign up for a tumblr account. I did have to realise JDA is already occupying that space, so I left again. Timothea Armour: A haiku.
