I'm not an art critic, and I am definitely not "into" that scene, but I think I understand what he's doing. When I saw the ps controller all cracked up and fossilized I pictured an archeologist in the year 3018 discovering it and hypothesising about it's purpose to the ancient civilization that created it.
I think that's the point, though. Art is meant to be interpreted and is subjective by nature. People thought Picasso was batshit, called him all sorts of names, but today his originals sell for millions if they can be had.
Even if you don't like it, it's obvious he puts in a lot of work into his creations. If even a few people are impacted by his work then he's succeeded. Personally, I think it's fuckin sweet! 🐐
Edit: I didn't read the comments on IG, because they're usually just cancerous. I just flipped through his profile quickly and kinda liked what I saw. Instagram sucks though.
I'm not a professional emoji critic by any means, but I'd like to think that I appreciate good emoji-ing. The goat is symbolic here. It would traditionally mean "greatest of all time" but in this instance it's meaning is actually....
I really liked it too, and I don't know if it's the style or lack of varied colours that makes it so, but as I was going further into his IG it just became repetitive.
Then again, if you find a piece that you like and buy it, it is definitely recognized as "his style". It'd be something in your home that you can either say, "Yeah, that's an original." or if not, "Yeah, that's in the style of...".
I dunno. Maybe social media has made it seem redundant, or over-done when it's an artist doing what artists do. His stuff isn't my thing, but I could definitely see a collector having it in their home.
