Hey there, it is the National Elections today so this is about the BS in political art. I’m a full-time watchdog for realness, and my painting, "Too Much Bullshit," says it all. You can think of it as my attempt to cut through the nonsense we’re constantly fed online. And yeah, this piece came from hours of digging through filters and fake fronts that hide the core of what art should be: honest. It’s exhausting..
Why Art Feels Like Junk Food These Days
Most people scroll social media, thinking they're absorbing meaningful art, but honestly, it's like snacking on empty visuals. These pieces are dressed up with a lot of flair but lack any real substance. And don’t get me started on the political art scene. I can’t help but feel like half the “big messages” out there are hollow, dressed up to impress without an ounce of truth to back them up.
I've spent countless hours peeling back layers, hunting for art that stands for something real. And after all that, what did I find? A whole lot of fluff, glitter, and gloss that says absolutely nothing. It’s like we’re being sold on empty ideas, all wrapped up in colors and shapes, and it’s supposed to be enough.
The Hunt for Real Art is a Full-Time Job
Last month, I went so deep into uncovering propaganda in art that I’m pretty sure I strained my sincerity radar. My doctor even told me to ease up on the intense critique for the sake of my own sanity. But honestly, telling me not to point out BS in art? That’s like telling a fish not to swim. So here I am, continuing the search, with one sign as my sidekick that says it all: “Too Much Bullshit.”
Just the other night, someone tried telling me every “controversial” street artist was actually a single AI. I told them straight up: my authenticity radar could make even Banksy sweat. This wall in my studio is practically a gallery of truth-signs and real-life visuals, a personal museum dedicated to keeping it real.
Who’s Holding the Sign, Anyway?
Funny enough, people think my art is just another part of this polished, over-the-top culture. But the guy in my painting? He’s like an avatar for anyone tired of art that glosses over real issues with surface-level statements. Holding that sign up, he’s putting it out there, loud and clear. And it feels like a stand—maybe not one that changes the world, but one that feels like a small victory for authenticity.
Why "Too Much Bullshit" Matters
So what keeps me going? Simple. Knowing that art still has the power to cut through the noise, to make people stop scrolling and actually think. I’ll keep holding that “Too Much Bullshit” sign high, even if it only makes a few people pause. Because in a world that’s gone a little too far down the filter rabbit hole, honesty is starting to feel like the most radical thing you can make.
