That's why there are art genres, and Tiki art is one of them. And that's why there are art "critics", who define these art genres, and I did that with "Tiki art". When the aspects meeting those definitions do not "happen" and not "much of them actually show", why would one call these art pieces by the name of that genre? I am sorry, I certainly do not want to harp on Van Tiki's work, I totally agree that it is spectacular, and everybody should feel free to love it and buy it and so on. At the same time, I will not stop to remind folks about WHAT makes Tiki TIKI. This should be its own thread, and I am opening it here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=28671&forum=1&start=last&0
