remember this guys stuff from an old issue of ANP quarterly. Love it!
This is just someone who can´t draw well. Bad reference, though.
no.
I can´t fix why the art became this kind of thing. Anyone who can hold a brush or a pencil and do poor aesthetic images like these, are instantly considered an artist. Blame on Duchamp and Warhol, who´d stop to contribute aesthetically to the art, raising empty questions about its relevance, starting the stupid “conceptual art”. Also blame the art market, wich is guided by people who isn´t committed to it, seeing on art just another good way to make money. “Ineptitude has today, it seems, acquired full rights of citizenship in the realm of art.” – Pietro Annigoni

Is Cutovoi an artist? Just curious. Just an internet commentator? My opinion……Anyone who spends their time doing what they love and getting paid and or recognition, no matter what situation may be….derserves it. Too much hating.
some people like it, some don’t.
I wouldn’t call it poor…
Art with this kind of aesthetic makes you feel a different way and conveys a different message than if it were perfectly executed.
i kind of agree with Nikky except for that last part – to me there is no right way or wrong way of making art so these are perfectly executed. if they were intended to solve a design problem that’s different
Longoland, i´m not an artist. I´m trying to be an illustrator. Anyway, I think this kind of art doesn´t contribute aesthetically to develop the graphic world. Lots of “artists” had used children trace like these on their works, but for what? In the most of cases, to “cause” some noise on the media, using some weird “concept” to justificate the bad quality of the work. It´s different from what impressionists, futurists, dadaist, cubists, who´d let the art to a new stage. In your line of though, Longoland, wich people who get paid for what they love, a 2 years old girl in Australia had their work shown on a big museum, because it´s curator don´t know the age of the chldren when her mother presented the works. What happens today is that some of us let away the graphic sense, to accept anything that is produced. Sad.

i am missing your point – i am not being duped into liking it. i just like it. there is no way a 2-year old girl created this work, there is intelligent social commentary in here. to me it is as successful as an illustration can be. i dont know why people assume individuals are trying to draw badly or something? like everything must be photoreal or as close to these other kinda of drawings we are used to because of whats on television or in disney movies.
Why dont you post a link to your work cutovoi.
I am going to assume, forgive me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you are still in school and have decided what art is, what illustration is and what they are not.
I am not saying everything produced is good art, but sometimes I find students (I teach at Pratt Institute) get all worked up about what art/illustration/ design and what it should and shouldnt be. How about this…..why dont you do a drawing influenced by this artist and see how hard or easy it is to achieve these results……and post your own work and let the comments flow.
i love this work. got me in the first one, some kind of bizarre family tree, whats amazing cause every family is a little bizarre.
people don’t understand that art isn’t full of rules. I really would like to see Cutovoi work.
Hello everyone!
Cutovoi just want to be honest in your opinion about this work.
If there’s freedom of expression, must also have freedom of opinion …
