Description

The concept of “bad art” as a source of pride, especially when rooted in the simulacrum of Jean Baudrillard’s philosophical ideas, is quite fascinating. According to Baudrillard’s theory, a simulacrum is a copy without an original, a representation that has no tangible connection to reality. In the context of art, this can be seen as a rejection of traditional notions of aesthetics and the value placed on “good” art. When my mother, who is a great perfectionist artist, says my art is ugly, she is likely referring to the conventional standards of beauty and taste that are often associated with “good” art. However, by accepting the label of “bad art,” I subvert these expectations and create a new value system that celebrates the unconventional and the unrepentant. In this sense, my art becomes a simulacrum of traditional art, a copy that lacks the original’s pretensions to beauty and taste. By embracing this “badness,” I create a new reality, one that challenges dominant narratives of what art should be. This can be seen as a form of hyperreality, where the simulation (my “bad art”) becomes more real than the reality it is supposed to represent (traditional notions of beauty and taste). My art becomes a commentary on the artificial nature of these norms, highlighting the fact that beauty is subjective and that “good” art is often just a social construct. By taking pride in my “bad art,” I not only challenge these conventions, but also create a new form of authenticity, rooted in my own unique perspective and creative vision. It is a powerful statement, celebrating individuality and nonconformity to traditional expectations. In this sense, my “bad art” becomes a form of resistance, a rejection of the dominant cultural narratives that dictate what art should be. It is a celebration of the imperfect, the unusual, and the unrepentant, and it is a testament to the power of art to challenge and subvert our expectations. 3318 x 2160 px / 4k mp4 / 1 min / 81,3 Mo / 3 frames 1/1 collection 49/50 #simulacra a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : The Calydonian Boar Hunt - Pierre Paul Rubens -1611-1612 Original works On view at : The J.
