I know it's an irrelevant aside, but can I just say, since the article decides to lead with it, that the painting created from his vision is utterly underwhelming. How you could take such a vision and turn it into something so mundane is beyond me. I almost wonder if it's just the classic money laundering through painting valuatiom shtick.
- nicklecompte 2y agoApparently it's not a painting: > The artwork, commissioned in 2016, is rendered in metal mesh by renowned South Korean artist Seungmo Park. Park also created a larger-than-life depiction of Olympic sprinter Sebastian Coe for Nike’s headquarters in Oregon and the façade of Gucci’s flagship store in Seoul. I noticed the texture looked odd when I zoomed into the photo. I suspect Park did the best he could, but the medium itself seems poorly-suited for the vision.
- SuperNinKenDo 2y agoAh yeah. That's a little more interesting, but it still leaves me hopelessly underwhelmed. What should be an evocative image is totally banal.
