" ...Is that Art? Friday" is the new Weekly Forum that wants to open up a space to freely judge how a particular artwork is Art. As it is so hard to stand out as an emerging contemporary artist, what did these artists do right to get so acclaimed? This is a space to create a dialogue and truly let your opinion out. Your opinion matters too! Engage, learn and grow. 

Every Friday a new subject! The subjects will probably all be controversial in some way and that's why it is important to strike a conversation. 

...Is that Art? Friday

"The Great Battle (After Canaletto)” by James Johnson-Perkins may illustrate these ideas perfectly, but mainly how our fascination for the war is continuous. No matter how much we know about its reality, we will always wonder the lives we did not live and the stories we could have lived. We rely on the heroic figures to give us hope for the future and remembrance for the past. This digital collage is giving the viewer an insight into what a contemporary war looks like through the lens of pop-culture."
