And this year's winner of the turner prize is: It may be abstract, but sometimes that's fine. Especially when it's as painstakingly intricate and beautiful as this. The artist, Richard Wright explains his work to the Guardian here. It's an interesting read. Have a look if you have a moment or three. Instead of just an idea which could be executed by anyone, here is an artwork which shows years

Okey doke. I've spent about three days trying to write this now and I keep getting distracted - but I will not be deterred! The subject of my post today: Are we falling in love with new and innovative artwork crossing our paths? Or are we wrapping ourselves up in the explanation written to the left of the work displayed in the gallery. Y'know - the one written by somebody completely anonymous

I have just been involuntarily introduced by Laura I believe! My real name, as already mentioned, is Graham. Likewise with L, my name across various boards/sites is 'vahrael'/'vahron', and feel free to say hi. I don't pretend to be an expert, but it's still nice to rant and prompt discussion. I tend to be interested, somewhat unhealthily, in the philisophical side of the 'art debate'. Examples

Well, it's officially morning by my clock. About twenty to one in the a.m. and I'm sat here writing out epics about various nerdy art bits and bobs. But hey! - That's what we're here to read, write and discuss about - right? I guess I should pick a more sensible time to get comfy in front of the computer screen, but I think better at this time of day anyhow.So then, I shall start with an

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
