Hello and welcome to Young Grumpy Artists!
This site is a place to rant from time to time about the state of contemporary art and try to find a remedy or two along the way.
Somewhat obvious examples, such as this are what annoy us. It's not that we don't get it and any 'deep' meanings it may hold; we just feel that contemporary artists could be trying a bit harder. As Roger Scruton said: 'art has become a joke which's ceased being funny'.
And just to clarify: We don't hate all modern art.
Just a lot of it :)
Additionally: we are open to persuasion. We wouldn't want to be exhibiting that barbarian of attributes: closed mindedness. However, we expect the same of our readers (in particular, those who comment).
We are Romantic, young, and foolish, but we're going to carry on anyway :) We might pick up a paintbrush or Biro at points too.
Who we are.

- We are artists (not to be read 'arteests') of varying quality and obsession. We are by-and-large traditionalists and are rather fed up with the state of modern art. The occasional cow-in-formaldehyde makes us smile.
