Default Agnes Cecile

I find this artist very interesting. Some of these works are created by dripping paint on the canvas, but unlike Jackson Pollack's work, they are figurative.

Sorry, Sharon, but all those little girls with vacant staring eyes look as if they escaped from a black velvet background. Not my cuppa.

Are there any limitations or restrictions to the Deviant Art scene, or is it open to anybody with a computer and a fee? And, if so, how do you separate the talented from the dreck? (Same problem with self publishing poets - there are some good guys who choose to go that route - or are forced into it by the inability to get a publisher in a crowded world - but unless you know the individual, where do you start? With Deviant Art do you simply track through endless sites until you find something that you like? Not being a wise-ass - just curious how this works. Superficially, it seems to allow anybody to call themselves an artist, and would create an awful lot of sandbox art and maybe a rare find.)

Agree, this style is fairly common, was looking at a few online auctions and there was an artist like this, popular but not cutting edge.
The video was interesting, but I think she over-painted the face of the man.
Beautiful, how the painter was in synch with the music and the face grew out of the improvised movement.

Yes, Deviant Art is open to anyone. It does take some searching to find the jewels. Each member has a section called "Favorites" and I find that if I see an artist I like, their favorites will be pretty good too.

Another thing is, an artist might have some shining moments among the "dreck" as you call it.

Consider this page we are discussing, I don't love every single piece yet even in the pieces that are not my favorites, I can still recognize her skill. I also find the color relationships interesting in how she has kept parts of the images in B&W and graphic. There are some that stand out for me.
