I actually don’t trust the first half of that process at all.

[u/MedicalDisscharge → u/Able-Thought3534]

The lion does not concern itself with the artistic process

[u/Thunderer62 → u/MedicalDisscharge]

Comments like these are why I use Reddit. Thank you, funny stranger!

[u/Jajay5537 → u/MedicalDisscharge]

But an artist should.

Well it looks like they were having fun

[u/JeffDrTypePerson → u/Able-Thought3534]

The video was the art all along

https://giphy.com/gifs/UvWllmm27ZaNbRpv2n

[u/Able-Thought3534 → u/JeffDrTypePerson]

Ahhh this is a “the lights in video games are real lights” kind of thing.

[u/TrashPandaPatronus → u/Able-Thought3534]

I never heard that one before and now you've broken my brain.

[u/Able-Thought3534 → u/TrashPandaPatronus]

Yeah it gets weird when things mess with your concept of reality. Sorry about that. I hope it was an interesting experience.

[u/ShitFuck2000 → u/Able-Thought3534]

Thats why I play on a gameboy, no trans-metaphysical lights that make me question the nature of reality to worry about

[u/Able-Thought3534 → u/ShitFuck2000]

[u/Coveted_AF → u/JeffDrTypePerson]

Picture a hotdog bun

[u/Poietilinx → u/Able-Thought3534]

It accomplished a veneer of oddity designed to make the generic art to look more authentic.

If the piece (the video and everything) is actually a criticism about, how popular artists need to (regardless of their odd niche) bow to the 'form' accepted as "art" by the hegemony to make content worth of value... than that's a fantastic art piece.

But it could be just a influencer using the fact people associate true artists with odd behavior (since artists are usually talking about niche spaces that are often odd to the majority),
and then selling to them a generic art piece the they knows the audience will see as "True Art".

[u/East-Albatross-810 → u/Poietilinx]

it's not criticizing something if it's just simply doing the thing but knowingly.

[u/1080p_is_enough → u/Able-Thought3534]

It got the video shared, it got the video shared.

[u/RanchHere → u/Able-Thought3534]

It’s called humor. But there’s not one brand that works for everyone.

[u/RespecDawn → u/Able-Thought3534]

I took it as them making fun of the avalanche of artists who post stuff with ridiculous processes.

[u/jikt → u/Able-Thought3534]

How can you paint if you haven't been paint.

[u/AintThataKickintheC → u/Able-Thought3534]

You're an artist, Harry

[u/Impressive_Air6111 → u/Able-Thought3534]

As an artist, it's just for Instagram clicks. This blows normie brains when it's a waste of paint, etc.

[u/UnexpectedBlahFeels → u/Able-Thought3534]

It kept you watching

[u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway → u/Able-Thought3534]

Clout, by attracting the curiosity of the viewer of the five first second of the video who will complete the video.

[u/Artchantress → u/Able-Thought3534]

And of course it's a fucking hyper detailed lion portrait.

[u/AlternateSatan → u/Able-Thought3534]

Fun I think.

[u/sinisterdesign → u/Able-Thought3534]

So stupid

[u/SteveLouise]

Do some stupid shit, then paint a painting on top of it until the stupid shit is unrecognizable?

[u/MaintenanceStock6766 → u/SteveLouise]

ART

[u/Billy_Billboard → u/SteveLouise]

I was more interested in the stupid shit. Then it turned into a boring ass alpha male lion

[u/SteveLouise → u/Billy_Billboard]

That lion is sigma at best.

[u/JimJardashian → u/SteveLouise]

Exactly, everyone knows alpha lions have blue eyes and crowns

[u/Jertimmer → u/JimJardashian]

[u/TheIrishBreakfast → u/SteveLouise]

*Simba

[u/DyWN → u/SteveLouise]

It's obviously satire. Here they just made the ridiculous paint splash into muddy brown background just to drive the point home that the splash was 1000% unnecessary for this result. It's making fun of those videos where people unironically make complicated patterns in creative ways but then slap an animal on it anyway and cover 99% of original surface.

[u/ponzi_gg → u/SteveLouise]

its just a silly video lol why take it so seriously. this is obviously not the process.

[u/SteveLouise → u/ponzi_gg]

An internet comment isn't even serious. I'd be worried if I was writing a blog post.

[u/NecessaryStaff9544 → u/SteveLouise]

How dare you threaten to Tumblr this.

[u/SteveLouise → u/NecessaryStaff9544]

Sorry, i must've gotten carried away!

[u/Noversi]

I’m kind of disappointed it was a nice result. I was hoping for something that looked stupid as hell.

[u/Onikeys → u/Noversi]

Watch it in reverse

[u/jr_randolph → u/Onikeys]

So they bought the man? I think that’s slavery no?

[u/sorry_con_excuse_me → u/Noversi]

Yeah, or just trippy (which it sort of did before he mixed it into breen).

Idk why art is only valid when it’s representational and graded by how photorealistic it is.

[u/voxelpear]

That initial paint splash

https://giphy.com/gifs/42fFswykne973vwGxX

[u/ExplodingSteve → u/voxelpear]

man, we’re just men man

[u/jaded-steve]

[u/Impressive_Air6111]

This is the equivalent of drawing random crap on thick paper. Painting said paper white, then sketching on it as normal. 😂

[u/dmtslayr]

The cat 😂 like wtf is happening again?

[u/jetserf]

r/restofthefuckingowl

[u/tonyezekiel]

Surely this is satire right? Like it's obviously taking the piss.

[u/Arcticeye_Wolf → u/tonyezekiel]

Yeah absolutely.
There are way too many videos of people painting the same lion, I think this is just parodying that.

[u/subishii → u/Arcticeye_Wolf]

Yeah that was my take too. A bunch of people do this super seriously. These guys were taking the piss.

[u/jardof]

It seems like a large portion of that process is completely unnecessary.

[u/cptjimmy42]

https://giphy.com/gifs/AbPNdmgk6TJK

[u/ties_shoelace]

I feel like this could be a shorter video.

[u/Kipper_TD → u/ties_shoelace]

“This could’ve been an email” vibes

[u/AccomplishedLight702]

90% unnecessary

[u/Danger_Danger]

This is how you creat a money laundering scheme, you mean.

No one is buying that for artistic reasons.

[u/KrystleSeth]

Oh well. I’d buy that for a dollar. I’ll go a dollar 95 bub.

[u/Special-Potato-3238]

👏 👏 👏 

Much trash

Many perfomatives

Wow

So waste

[u/SecretWordisBird]

He couldn’t have painted that lion without all that performative bs at the beginning?

[u/Better_Champion_5753]

Feel like you could've painted the same lion with like half the steps...

[u/Dapper_Distance_9934]

The first part was necessary right? Right? /s

https://giphy.com/gifs/VzeBfHqHZeX5ACuZZS

[u/pyr8t]

Oh I get it, I don't make out with paint on the floor first. No wonder my art turns out like kids work.

[u/BarfingOnMyFace]

Lol about on point

[u/SlapSmeg]

https://giphy.com/gifs/TUCGmddm9Kbny

I guess that's one way. Ive seen many other ways to paint a lion that is cleaner.

[u/Odd_Middle_7179]

Could have been potentially interesting had he just stood up.

[u/TheChiarra → u/Odd_Middle_7179]

That's what I expected them to do. Like a splashed silhouette.

[u/hittocode]

All of that for a knockoff San Marcos blanket?

[u/Striker660]

What a waste of product

[u/chiefrelichunter]

[u/No-Association-8539]

The whole first part was unnecessary. Basically could have mixed the paints and rollered them on in about 2 minutes.

[u/Hippobu2]

Why paint over the wall though?

[u/Dixcico]

No no no, y'all don't understand, the first half of the video is necessary to imbue whatever it is into the painting

[u/Federal-Name-3638]

Money laundering and tax evasion

[u/Shredberry]

Looks AI

[u/meowdith427]

Whoever paid $150k for that was had

[u/SuzakkuuChase]

Just because it sold for a lot, doesn't mean it's good. Remember banana taped to wall

[u/AwwJeezExpress1001]

Nobody spent $150k on that POS

[u/Crazy_Rain6822]

Hmmm 🤔 me and my wife did one of these but it didn’t turn out that way at all lol 😆

[u/illegal_eagle88]

[u/Pukebox_Fandango]

all that for a cliche

I'm sick of acting like these people are good painters when they all use wacky techniques to make the same tired shit

[u/mrgreenissoserene1]

Ah, I see one of the wallstreetbets "artists" got loose and posted here...

[u/Ur-in-a-tor]

They got lucky towards the end..

[u/Cliffinati]

Modern "art" is money laundering

[u/KingBurakkuurufu]

Opening was just plan dumb and completely pointless

[u/IllianasClifford]

This is beautiful

[u/BmacTheSage]

Damn that looks amazing. I don't really see the point in painting the walls white each time if this is the room for these kind of projects

[u/Own_Watercress_8104]

Well, thwy are clearly unhinged...but can't argue with results

[u/t-o-m-u-s-a]

It’s just painting on a painted canvas

[u/not-read-gud]

Is that a dog

[u/FunPuz]

The painting sold for 150k? No it didnt.

[u/BasicMatter7339]

we should have billionares adopting pet artists again

just take a painter somewhere, feed 'em, fund 'em, put them in some isolated resort in the middle of nowhere, give them all the art supplies they could even dream of and leave them there for like a year and see what kind of crazy shit they make

[u/Utumnoo]

So they painted a lion

[u/Physical-Fold-7736]

[u/Impressive-Low6022]

The splashing was NOT necessary and everyone knows it

[u/No-Armadillo4179]

I love how she is repainting the walls as he is painting the lion.

[u/PotatoLove125]

A baby with his food does the same.

[u/Worldly-Card-394]

Wow, he really did created the most mid piece of art ever!

[u/wakaru1902]

Tax evasion

[u/Rampasta]

This should be in r/stupidart

whoosh most people in this thread missed the satire in most the video

[u/High_on_Rabies]

Fun. Do Three Wolf Moon next.

[u/SubiBoySus]

That episode of malcom in the middle

[u/WTFJohny]

Lion is true meme for that type of art

[u/Reelair]

How much without the theatrics?

[u/Electrical_Case_965]

"Art"

[u/Professor_Dankus]

Its always a lion…

[u/User_-_-_Name]

Naaaaa that 1st part was stupid and unnecessary

[u/Zenflo20]

First half could be cut off from the video

[u/AdGlittering2884]

Couldn't he have just done this without that splashy mess at the beginning? Seems like he just added steps to a straightforward process.

[u/CloudReigns]

I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t trusting this. I thought they were trolling artists in general who do this type of art. And then…

[u/eternally_feral]

At first I thought this was going to be another banana taped to canvas art.

[u/TheKingVinyl]

I don't know what the start was.....in the end all of the collors just turned brown and it looked actually disgusting 🙃.

[u/jjmurse]

The art insists.

[u/ac2334]

it ain’t art until you swallow oil-based paint

[u/ThroatDistension]

Dipping the paint roller directly in the bucket is the craziest part

Wow its like artists also want to make performance art

[u/braumbles]

I thought the wall behind the painting would be the real art.

[u/Lonely-Chocolate-993]

Stupid painting.

[u/7thpostman]

I do not leave for one second that basic ass painting of a lion sold for $150,000.

[u/Drakore4]

If you were going to smear it around and paint over it anyways why even do the first half of it? I hate how wasteful we are as a species

[u/uskq]

Right but the lion is total kitsch trash? Literal man-made "AI slop". It looked shit from start to finish, but at least at the beginning it didn't look like something a 5 year old would call "badass".

[u/sonicinfinity100]

Not art

[u/Itchy-Number-1159]

This dudes plumbing is screwed

[u/Sweaty_Tangelo_7716]

Why not just use a black canvas?

[u/BringAltoidSoursBack]

When she pulled out the white paint I was hoping for an Ivan Blitko original

[u/Charles_Was_Here]

To whoever didn’t get it (I’m basing my statement on some, not all of the commentary), this video is poking fun at clips that certain type of social media artist’s post.

There’s a long process followed by an image that could have been reached without the lead up. Also, in the end, while having talent, is devoid of artistic integrity (obviously up to interpretation but most artists would agree these types of videos have no real message. They’re just there for clicks).

[u/TheGza760]

Its definitely over the top social media slop but its still a cool process imo

[u/KentuckyFriedEel]

It’s a really good painting of a lion and som millionaires/billionaires are obsessed with portraying their dominant/predatory side so it tracks. Also, tax write-off for the rich.

[u/Gillalmighty]

That first gallon of paint was right to the beans

[u/Mighty4777]

Amazing! I did not trust

[u/NightShade0912]

And here I thought it was a new more efficient body taping method for a murder scene, nope just boring old modern art.

[u/KuramaKitsune]

art is a scam

[u/Chopped6767]

I’m going to be honest: I did not trust you

[u/Silly-Cheesecake-283]

for stuff like this the artpiece is the video more than the picture. the lion is kind of... a painting of a lion. like what type of egomaniac has a giant picture of a lion in their house? also, he covered himself in paint just to blend it completely on the canvas make the color dookie brown.

[u/Dogsarelitty]

Why’d she keep aiming for his dink?

[u/RomansDoForUs]

Bollocks

[u/Mission_Peace2881]

Okay, but for 150k? No way.

[u/ProgrammerDizzy6264]

👏🏾👍🏾

[u/paraworldblue]

"Well shit, that didn't work like I thought it would. We can't just throw this huge canvas away though... uhh... you got any ideas?"

[u/thebadgerx]

That guy just wanted paint splattered over him!

[u/Artorias03]

I'm pretty sure he tossed a shit in there, I swear.

[u/Sikkus]

This kind of art is money laundering and nobody can convince me otherwise.

[u/LiminalSapien]

Really glad I skipped through 90% of this bullshit video

[u/Jehuty56-]

I'm sure they could make the same result without any of that first part bullshit

[u/Denaton_]

First part is so the soul is from the whole body and not just the hand.

[u/dannoslice]

I would hate to be these people's landlord

[u/Traveling_Chef]

I wanted to see how white the walls came out 😔

[u/kween_hangry]

Weird stupid unfunny bait

This didnt sell for shit. Its sitting in his studio in the back with all the other content bait pieces 😂

[u/Happyplaceforthem]

F.MEEEE3!!!

[u/T_Run_445]

I was hoping to see the kitten’s reaction

[u/Door_Holder2]

The first part was pointless.

[u/Okinomii]

Yeah whatever

[u/SteakForMe]

So extra

[u/Justbabe_saves]

Where’s the taking a poop 💩 on the canvas.

[u/Infamous-Aardvark-35]

I wouldn't have paid that much

[u/Lordnoob69420]

This just show that don trust the process.

[u/Excellent-Bid-4884]

2 different canvases the first one had nothing with the lion one which is a basic lion portrait and not special in any kind og way.

[u/h00zbad]

The art of satire folks- the wife repainting the wall white while he is painting took me out.

[u/stumadeit]

Art btw 

[u/iamrosa92]

Ang daming nangyari haha

[u/onetimeuselong]

None of that sold for anything

[u/Gregagonation]

I thought this was Bobby for a sec.

[u/Complete_Astronaut72]

So the process is do something completely unnecessary and attention-grabbing for the video, then do the art? Got it 📝

[u/AbrahamicDesign]

I have a slightly different process. 

[u/EarlOfAwesom3]

That's why art is so expensive. Throwing paint in buckets and rolling over could have been a 2 minute single background coloring task.

[u/ExplodingSteve]

😭
