<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Lost in the Arthouse</h2><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by James Gilbert Pynn</div><div class='uawarticle'><br />What is it about a good piece of art that makes you want to lie down and take a nap? I think its the feast-like quality of good art, like a Thanksgiving meal. Im not talking about scissors and construction paper art, mind you. Im talking about a type of art that is miles and away superior. Im talking about crayons and markers and coloring books. Im talking about free-flowing, jaw-dropping works of pure expressionism. Im talking about work so good, youve got to put it on a shirt " that kind of awesome-ness cant be found in any old place and certainly not in some kindergarten class.<br />
<br />
I need options, people. How crazy is that? Thirteen kinds of mustard at the corner shop and I'm crazy because I want art options? What I want is awesome art that can be applied, as the whim strikes me, on any surface. By any surface, I really mean three specific surfaces: clothing, canvas, matte boards " and in frames. Wait, thats four surfaces. Though, Im not convinced a frame is a technical surface. Its an encasing and regardless, I want my art where I want it. Avast, me hardies! <br />
<br />
My wants are a simple affair. I'm not a greedy person. You know what I want? I want my art mounted on gatorboard. Nevermind the bullocks and nevermind that chipboard nonsense. I want my art to be showcased like a regular Picasso, right about the mantle, like a proper gentleman. And none of this quick-fading matte board business either. I cant keep the sun completely out of my flat! It still manages to get in through the cracks. And who said ready-to-hang art isnt keeping it real " I keep things very real! <br />
<br />
How incredibly, totally real is it to slap your art onto some canvas and thumbtack it to the wall erratically? Pretty darn real! Why canvas? you ask in a timid voice. Allow me, if I may, to explain how totally cool having some great art on canvas is. Its really cool. You can chop it up and stitch it onto your favorite denim jacket " or even your Ramones-inspired Schott. Yo. Gabba. Gabba. Or you can fold it like a hanky and take it anywhere like Harpo Marx.<br />
<br />
Hey, hands off the frame! Youll get your grubby fingerprints all over the ultra-clear Perspex front! You ingrate! Thats a quality timber frame and high-tension wire cable to hang it from on the back. Youd think youd never seen art prints in a frame before. Oh, and what about putting some rad art on t-shirts that werent assembled for two cents in some horrible sweatshop? How hard could that be? Gratitude, thats what Im talking about. A little bit goes a long way.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
