Bolla: No, typically if I see something that I don’t like, usually I just accept it as a difference in taste preference and move on. It is what it is. However, with this work (and the other pieces of this style that I’ve seen) there isn’t anything I necessarily don’t like, it’s just that the style comes off as so intentionally done in style and minimalism that it made me wonder if it was a conscious reference to another artist’s work, an homage to some art movement, etc (basically what I said at the very end of my first post, which would be said context that I was simply wondering if I was unaware of). Also, perhaps you didn’t mean to say this as has you had, “not to sound arrogant **myself**,” but I tried to ask my question in such a way to expressly avoid that. I asked purely out of curiosity and in the hopes that I’d learn something new. I’m pretty sure he’s been posted before on booooooom a few times before, but I’ll definitely check out the rest of his work! 

Kady: When I can’t get “into” a certain particular style of art it’s always really illuminating to see what other people enjoy in it themselves. So thanks for your thoughts!!!
