Loose, Bold and Unique. Robert Joyner

Artists and the statement “I wish I could be more loose when I paint” has come up rather frequently. When the subject of painting loose comes up, the first artist that always comes to mind is Robert Joyner. Robert is a full time painter from Richmond, Virginia specializing in acrylic and mixed media paintings.   His work is very loose and free and his style is truly unique. As a fan of skillshare.com., I discovered Robert.

Bad Dog by Richard Jackson

Popular and memorable for most visitors.

Yes, that was yellow paint on the wall.

“Bad Dog” by Richard Jackson was a large-scale sculpture of a dog peeing on the Orange County Museum of Art. The sculpture is rigged to spray the side of the museum with yellow paint (see below). It is part of Richard Jackson: Ain’t Painting a Pain, a Jackson retrospective at OCMA, February 17 to May 5, 2013.The installation, titled simply as Bad Dog, was a giant 28-foot temporary sculpture of a black Labrador urinating yellow paint on the museum walls. It was an immediate hit. Crowds flocked to see it, and it quickly gained notoriety among both the local community and the art world. Accessible, vibrant, and playful, the work has widely achieved Jackson’s main intention: to make the viewer laugh. The outdoor piece created in 2013 remained at the Orange County Museum for the duration of the exhibition before the sculpture toured Europe. (I took above photos)

Jackson created the work to question the role of humor in art. some experts state that Bad Dog was made to represent the artist’s self-reflexive observation and interpretation of the state of superiority, restrictiveness, and exclusivity that has characterized the art museum world for decades. Speaking about Bad Dog, Jackson said¹: "My intention is never to shock or offend anyone or any particular group. People’s reaction to ‘Bad Dog’ or any art for that matter tends to vary.
