And it was chiseled with no re-do's unlike bronze which is sculpted out of clay first. Carve that shite out of stone where one wrong crack and you start from scratch

As bad as that time UT Austin put up tons of cheap statues of favors athletes. Then scrubbed the internet of it ever happening after getting dragged on every chat forum

Hopefully this modern art style of making everything intentionally ugly will end. Even if we turned it over to AI, it would be more accurate at least.

Even thousands of years ago the statues were better. It’s a lost art.

This is disrespectful to Tina Turner.

They might as well put one up of Ike taking a swing at her.

How do, whoever makes these statues, something like this and think "this is the type of work we want associated with us"?

Do something like this with it..



That's too much hair. And her nose wasn't THAT big,

The DEI sculptor was burning plenty of proud Mary while he was working. I think they paid $150k for this pile of shite too.

Looking at his portfolio, this may be the worst work he's ever done......by a wide margin. His other works are a whole lot better. Weird.

reportedly paid extra attention to capturing the essence of Turner’s hair, which he compared to the “mane of a lion,” according to the Associated Press.


In Art-Speak that means I fricked up the hair so I made up some bullshite to cover for it.
