I paint like a caveman with an interest in sociology and psychology

@CraiG_Mc Tsatas to forward line. He is very good at getting is hands in the loose ball

@TraceyLee_07 I’ll go with Great Southern Land due to its unique sound yet ability to resonate with the audience.

@perpetuallonerr It’s all because of the size of our spiders and the venom in our snakes; provides a good incentive to learn to run fast. Meanwhile, you have to learn how to dodge the carnivorous koala that attack from the trees.

During the Cold War, the CIA promoted Abstract Expression to elevate the moral that art should express subjective individualism - (in contrast to figurative socialism of the Soviet nations)

I do question, however, how rewarding subjective individualism is for an audience.

@Raws_LFC I’d prefer we called it feet ball as a compromise

@spinalribbon You would probably like Greg Taylor’s wall at MONA. Lots of variety there in ceramic form.

@solisolsoli Some beauty in nature just can’t be replicated, captured or distilled in art

[Chad @artofchad]

@stats_feed His paintings were technically skilled but feel soulless. Made me wonder what he wanted/expected to learn at art school.

@thmcmahon @UrbanCourtyard Yeah, I doubt it Griffin’s plan in 1912 to have Canberra as a car centric city. As for the NCDC’s y plan in the late 1960s, it aimed to reduce the need to drive a car. It failed as it was impractical to think families could live and work in the one center.

@KimRoebuck Some work endures when the advertising fades but the image of the artists is a big part of how the work is received. Perhaps brand identity rather than advertising

@humantransit In the Australian Capital Territory, local government and state (territory) are combined which means we only have two tiers of government (other being Federal). Quite unusual as there is norm Australia wide. Not sure if it is good or not.

@impression_ists Japanese art inspired van Gogh, African masks gave rise to Picasso's cubism, Tahitian art took Gauguin on the path to a synthesis of spirituality, emotional colour and symbolism.

@jerrysaltz You could say the same thing about galleries charging artist but in both cases, the desire for ‘exposure’ has the smaller entities paying and taking the risks.

@DrewPavlou Makes me think of the terrible design from thee Brutalist. Dodged a bullet with that one

[Chad @artofchad]

@anishmoonka Octopuses are solitary and territorial animals because of how and what they hunt. They don’t need to learn things from parents hence the parental death. The intelligence evolution would occur if they stated co-operative hunting things larger than themselves.

@gnostic_bf Before they built the fence, I thought it would have been a good idea to install some barbecue facilities up there; give the public something to do rather than just look at a view while being symbolic

[Chad @artofchad]

@ninetysevenjag @gnostic_bf Some cities have parks in them. Canberra is a city spread through a park.

@QamarRiaz1 Abstraction reveals the greater truth if the artist is trying to distill elements of the subject and attach questions, responses and emotions to them. However, if the artist is merely imposing their unique aesthetic upon the subjects, then they are just obscuring the subjects.
