RE: My Body Is Not Your Property | Acrylic Painting
Wow! You really have the power to provoke people. I actually agree with your point. Just because some prominent guy made a sloppy, mediocre painting of an ejaculating dick, it gets displayed in a national gallery with a whooping Php 196,000 price tag. To add salt to the wound, it gets attention through countless times of features from traditional media outlets. There's no censorship or ban. I'm really furious.
Continue with your thought provoking works! Please know that there are people who are with you all the way.
Yeah true. The price tag issue for me there is he doesn't have that reputation yet in the art scene so he should've priced it a bit lower. Another thing is that he was able to get into Manila art that easy... which is quite insulting to the full-time artists who work hard (cos joining Manila Art Fair is not easy) and they didn't ban his work lol.
Thank you so much! I will! And am more confident now that you said that :)
