Bieber Painting Is The End Of Art

Painter Elizabeth Peyton unveiled her latest work to the art world this week, which to the horror of many of her fans, was a giant goofy picture of Justin Bieber. Mind you, Elizabeth Peyton isn’t some obese loser doing fan art in her basement, she is a well respected artist. Previously she had done portraits of David Bowie and Kurt Cobain, but she wanted to really challenge herself this time by painting a completely talentless ass ferret. The painting is called “Never Say Never” after a 2011 documentary about Bieber. She really captured the pouty vagina lips, the vacant stare, and pointed girlish chin. His bushy eyebrows are like two gay 70’s bathhouse attendant’s mustaches that have been stuck to his oversized forehead. But is is art?

Not really, but it’s the kind of thing that’s going to sell. Either some rich bitch Belieber will get her daddy to buy it or a museum will display it to show the merging of popular and “high” culture, blah, blah, blah. Peyton is going to make a fortune off of Bieber’s little hyena face. Still, I think it’s bad art. Painters should go back to painting cool stuff like chicks with big boobs holding pottery or centaurs fighting dragons or whatever.
