(4 min read)<\/strong> This is an age-old question and quite frankly, for me personally, a mind-boggling one. I\u2019m, okay with some artworks and with some other ones\u200a\u2014\u200aI\u2019m just not. Does that make me a hypocrite? Probably, but at least I\u2019m owning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an avid reader, I never read Lovecraft who was an overtly racist product of his time. I don\u2019t care how good his \u201ccosmic\u201d gibberish is. Whoever saw a person walking down the street and thought it would be a good idea to enslave them, won\u2019t get a read from me. Kevin Spacey was one of my favorite actors ever and I will never watch his movie ever again. I\u2019ve watched and loved \u201cJeepers, Creepers\u201d movies until I found out what Victor Salva was convicted of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mosaic

On the other hand, I still have all of my Harry Potter books and collectibles. I\u2019ll still read Charles Baudelaire from time to time and I fully intend on rereading Pushkin\u2019s \u201cEugene Onegin\u201d this year. Also, I still listen to Joe Rogan podcast. (sue me)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mosaic
Whoopi Goldberg thought that The Academy handled everything well, apparently; thus the applause I suppose. Mosaic Artwork by Eva Galineau.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/br>

Most of you will immediately realize what brought this question all of a sudden. Two things happened during this past week that got me riled up. First, someone posted a mosaic artwork of the Russian President of Vladimir Putin on FB with a caption: \u201c5.000 bullet casings collected on the Ukrainian front to illustrate the true face of war\u201d, which turned out to be fake because the said mosaic was created in 2015. Second, Will Smith has assaulted Chris Rock on stage and the whole room cheered and applauded minutes after. Soooo, what\u2019s wrong with you, world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mosaic
Hollywood was never a kind place, not even to its shiniest stars, Marilyn Monroe mosaic portrait by Mosaics Lab.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/br>

Needless to say, these two cases will bring out that already mentioned hypocrite. First of all, \u201cThe Face of War\u201d mosaic art was created by Ukrainian artist Daria Marchenko, and just like other her works from that series of artworks, it is a full-on masterpiece. She also made a variety of other masterpieces in that same series and used materials she deemed appropriate to make her political stance clear. For the mosaic portrait of then Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko she used candy wrappers of Roshen, his company via which he amassed a huge fortune before coming to power. For the mosaic portrait of Donald Trump, Marchenko collaborated with Daniel D. Greene and used coins and casino tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mosaic

Needless to say, I personally feel that the sheer boldness and the audacity of this collection is quite magnificent. It\u2019s a beautiful thing when an artist is not pandering to the masses, but making a stance and making their voice heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what with this Oscar business from a mosaic buff standpoint? Well, I dunno about you, but I won\u2019t be buying any Hollywood-related artwork any time soon. As Jim Carrey wisely observed, they are not \u201cthe cool club anymore\u201d. Once you start applauding an assault, it\u2019s \u201ctoodles\u201d on all fronts from me, and that goes for mosaic artwork too. As magnificent as those pieces from \u201c50 Faces\u201d mosaic artwork show maybe, I wouldn\u2019t go for most of them any time soon. Hollywood needs to get a grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how about you? What\u2019s your opinion on this whole artist-art-topic connection? Are you a latent hypocrite like me, or do you have a sturdier opinion? I would love to hear all about it in the comment section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS. I also permanently deleted \u201cI Believe I Can Fly\u201d from my playlist. Toodles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>
