My Love For You is Like An Etch-A-Sketch

My Love for You is Like an Etch-A-Sketch

Unknown, Artist (Acrylic on Plywood 20X30")

1990's - Franticism

Unknown explores the raw proto-realism of the 1990's in this ode to the root of bad art, the Etch-A-Sketch. While the nude form only occupies the far right of the picture, one wonders on what astral plane she floats while her nervous aura communicates a frantic energy wave into the vapor that is space.

"My Love for You is Like an Etch-A-Sketch" is an historic artifact in the world of Bad Art. Unknown's work was declared an instant masterpiece by the Esteemed Director of the mothership of Bad Art, the Musuem of Bad Art (MOBA) in Dedham, Massachusetts. The work led to the formation of AFBAM (The American Federation of Bad Art Museums) and an immediate agreement was reached, the painting shipped to Dedham where it became part of MOBA's art show of nudes in a greater Boston healthclub.

Happy Valentines Day From BAMOO

Lavender Behind

Artist: Jan   Acrylic on Board (16"X20")  Romantic Tones of Lavender Accented in Black

Tri-Saphoism / Lesbianism - Rococco

Lavender Behind Artist "Jan" relies upon the subtle trinity of monochromic hues, repetitive shapes and a portion of the human form, to achieve the pure bad art goal of objectifying the object. Hearts randomly abound like Birkenstocks in a Michigan field during August; their meaning a metaphor for the rampant and unspoken desire that dare not speak its name. Viva la Papillon d' Amour!

In an interesting and unwomynly turn of events, the artist signs her name inside a heart with the unabashed zeal usually seen high school students who dots their "i" with open circles; Too cute!

Forever Umber


Artist: Unknown, Oil on Canvas, 18X24

We see here, the prolific artist Unknown's attempt to address a pensive nude form...almost masculine in its shape, feminine in its hair style, and placed the figurine knee deep in a Freudian metaphore of umber paint laid thick, smattered and puckered, which lifts from the canvas to us as if to say "we are all mired in our own excretment, no?.  No, indeed.
