Sarah's+Criteria

1. In my opinion, good art is art that you can see a million times, and never get tired of it. 2. in my opinion, good art is art that has a message behind it, and can be taken in many different ways. 3. In my opinion, great art is art that keeps your attention, and makes you wonder about it. 4. in my opinion, good art is art that you can relate to.

Trenton Doyle Hancock meets my criteria. I like that he isn't afraid to make up stories to go along with his art, and that he is so detailed in his work. He definitely has reasons behind his art, and ones that I can relate to. He stands out to me because he uses different themes and materials in his art. I honestly think that i could sit down and look at his art for a long while, and think about all of the different meanings it has.



Alex Pardee is one of the artists that definitely meets my criteria. He is my all time favorite artist, and his work will be opening in the Corey Helford Gallery some time in 2011. Another reason why he meets my criteria is because of the way that he paints and works. He smudges the paint perfectly on his canvases and then draws the character in, he shows a lot of great detail in his work, and its very colorful. I could admire his work all day. Something else unique about him is that he not only paints, but he designs clothing and sells it in his stores ( ZEROFRIENDS ) He also sells other artist's work along with his own.
