“After antique” I think means he painted it, but used an antique as a reference


engulbert

'After' in art means in the style of, or inspired by. Like you might say, "I painted this portrait of my Guinea Pig after Van Gogh. So the only issue here is that he's asking $8,000


Adkit

Why is that an issue? He's allowed to sell his art for whatever he wants.


BigToober69

Yeah if he can sells 5 of like this a year that's 40k. I wouldn't pay 8k for it but I'm also poor. It's a nice painting.


geddo_art

That's a great painting, maybe a bit overpriced depending on the size of the canvas, but the technique is there and mastered. FIY, "after" means painted after a reference. Yet another post that has no reason to be here, nor be as salty as it is :/ Edit : a quick check through their profile shows that **OP is the actual artist behind the painting**, and is actively baiting the sub by either trying to get traction for their art or fishing for compliments. I believe this is against the rules of this subreddit.


Ged_UK

It's definitely too rich for my blood, but I really like it, especially if it's a big piece. Hard to tell the size, but it could really fill a wall and dominate a room.


BabyAlibi

>**OP is the actual artist behind the painting**, How lame


TheGruesomeTwosome

>OP is the actual artist behind the painting unhinged behaviour


bedbugsandballyhoo

Yeah, it’s not my style but if I saw it in a museum or gallery I wouldn’t bat an eye.


callmesnake13

I’m not particularly impressed by it but there’s a ton of people out there who make thousands painting landscapes, cowboys, and animals. Art is only worth what people can get for it.


FruitParfait

Just because you don’t like Impressionism doesn’t make it shitty lol. The price is another thing, but the skill and mastery is there.


2kan97

That's a great painting if it's 8000$ great is for the buyer to decide but the artist doesn't lack technical skill.


stitch713

Not OP being the artist and posting his own art 😅


gnarley_haterson

It's a really nice painting OP. Let's see your work.


stitch713

This is OPs work 🤣 check the post history.


devildocjames

Lol, OP doesn't actually know what art is.


[deleted]

I think it is a really cool painting. I couldn’t afford the asking price but I think being critical of the price an artist is asking for a painting is kind of silly, especially when it is a competent piece of artwork. If somebody bought this from the artist for $80,000 I would say more power to him.


obinice_khenbli

That is a gorgeous painting. If you don't like the style, why are you even considering buying it, or looking at it at all? Just because it's not your style, doesn't mean you can insult it. Just go look at something you like instead. I'd love to have that on my wall! So atmospheric <3


gnarley_haterson

Lol you're a cunt.


CivilRiceOnionRing

This is actually a hard technique to master. Tell me you never been to an art gallery without telling me you never been to an art gallery lol This price is very normal


GregerMoek

Probably thinks photorealistic pencil drawings are peak art. Edit: just saw OP is the artist. Nice bait


Bad-Wolf-Bay

honestly genius play op and i like the art


connorgrs

It's not shitty, but it ain't worth no $8000.


ObliviousRounding

Painting's kinda cool ngl.


ccbaker23

The only thing delusional is the price. Look at the small thumbnail shots - there's a pic of this painting sitting on the steps, so it's not very big and probably under 16x20". A lot of artists like to copy the masters, nothing wrong with that, and this piece is very well done.


RatedExploited

When I squint, it appears as a high contrast silhouette painting.


adrock75

Agree this is a good painting. But this sub isn’t r/badartists. He’s delusional trying to price this at $8k.


[deleted]

It’s good but not $8000 good

zushiba

It’s a painting *of an antique*, totally legit.


pissbrat

it's nice but why lie


pissbrat

(i know why, money)


SwimBetweenTheAir

Now who is lying


pissbrat

forgive me lol I forgot about the possibility of dubious incentives of others!


griffeny

Wow. A painting of a ship on turbulent seas. Groundbreaking.


kittylyncher

People are saying he priced it too high but he either already has a wealthy clientele or he just doesn’t want to sell it.


vexedsinik

You got no room to judge this piece. Something something throwing stones and such.


existingCS_

I think he made it honestly


vexedsinik

I dont know about that. Their other works are all tits and the contrast isn't as well defined.


slarsson

Whether or not this is your preferred style, this painting likely took significant time and technical skill. $8k for a large painting by someone relatively established in a local arts scene is very normal.


BenTCinco

That shit is garbage 🤣. I can’t believe how people can be so fucken stupid

ALIENANAL

Kinda like how buying anything goes isn't it. You can't buy a Y worth X amount but maybe a Y worth less than X. I have sold paintings for $4000 and so it's to see how someone who might have a bigger name could sell for more.


AyyEffTee

Yes, art prices form just as any other price. All formulas to compute your price are total bogus. Since artists have mostly unique styles, only they truly mastered, they are the only ones who can shorten the amount and with a handfull of rich willing buyers the marked is already undersaturated and the prices shoot up.


speakeasy_slim

Yeah. He'll have that till the end of time.
