Cold, sad or a victim of bad lighting?

I don't know much about art, but I know bad art when I see it. I went to this guys website, and he is asking $14,000 for the Apollo Room painting. OK, so I could have a large bad painting or 60 or 70 Privates? Hmm, tough choice.

He could also ask $140,000 - doesn't mean he's gonna get it!

In my opinion, his paintings suck - big time.

I don't think they are half bad,

I am usually shocked at asking prices for artwork anyway and would have no idea how to price my own. If he is a proven artist with a following maybe he'll get it too.

 

Would be interesting to follow up and see what sold.
