A shark controversial?! really

Controversial would be one of the last words to come to mind when I look at these pieces. They make me think of how simple art can be, but how it takes a creative mind to take something like a shark preserved in formaldehyde into a piece of art. I look at art as art. I cannot decided if an artist's work is too controversial or not because the way I see art is completely different form anyone else's view. Interpretation of art can be completely opposite between two people. So if this is seen as controversial, then I feel like there will be a lot more controversial pieces in the future.

  1. I agree with you in that everyone sees things differently. Opinion is the backbone of the art world now-a-days. I dont know what will happen in the future of art, but I guess we will soon see.

  2. I agree with you, and i think the reason they're controversial is BECAUSE everyone's opinion varies, and there are opposite interpretations. The controversy lies in the fact that some people love these pieces, while others don't see them as art.
