My impression has always been that it's a gymnastics routine: a memorized set of planned movements, precisely executed. He's probably painted that exact same painting dozens if not hundreds of times. I bet he could do a decent version of it with his eyes closed.<br /><br />Can I ask the "is is art?" question, then? I suppose in a way it's like printmaking: he presumably developed the original image, and has now learned to reproduce it by hand.Ernest Friedman-Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595166504050829290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-32316630108917699572013-02-09T01:59:12.806-05:002013-02-09T01:59:12.806-05:00I saw a different artist years ago at the Uptown A...I saw a different artist years ago at the Uptown Art Festival in Minneapolis do a similar upside down painting,only it was of Elvis.I don't remember what the time limit was,maybe the duration of some rock music song,but it could have been 5 minutes or so.Lots of fun.Steve Fastnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550271224882245081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42064704774216101662013-02-08T14:45:14.885-05:002013-02-08T14:45:14.885-05:00How clever, I've never really understood the p...How clever, I've never really understood the point of performance painting though. It just furthers the myth and mystique of art for non-artists.

He's painting shapes, he's not painting a nose or an eye or an ear.
