Artist Review #2

Mel Bochner 

• Mel Bochner is an American conceptual artist, that resides in New York. A lot of his work is simple, and or very colorful.  He throws colorful words on objects and calls it art. In my opinion any one that has half a brain can create art just as well as Mel Bochner. I honestly don't know what he is trying to communicate, but whatever it is, I find it very dull and uncreative.
• He uses very basic materials for a very basic concept. In his "Blah Blah Blah" piece he uses thick colorful letters, in a 3D frame. His choice of materials makes you focus on the three "Blahs," and I have no idea why anyone would want their viewer to focus on three idiotic words that aren't even real words.
• My overall  impression of this guy is that he is uncreative and makes very dull artwork. I feel like this art would be something that a teenage girl would put on their wall, and it does not interest me in the least.
• He relates to this weeks theme because he is an artist I hate, I don't like anything about is artwork. The fact that this guy was success full makes me second guess being an artist.
