In my job, I am routinely exposed to works of art. Some by known artists, some by unknown. Sometimes we arrive to wrap artwork, and all of the DeKoonings, Warhols, etc, look like college student artwork. And sometimes the college student artwork blows away the "masters".
That said, in my personal opinion is that all of the shag rip-offs I've seen... Suck.
Artists like Rain have a thousand times the talent, and yet their artwork sells in the same price range as these ( In my eyes ) uninspired pieces. Although I am in my own way thankful that I am able to consider owning his ( and others ) works. But I do hope that for the truly talented ( In my subjective eyes ) artists get their recognition and due.
