SLART Critique by Jerry Saltz

Pulitzer-Prize Winning Art Critic-Style Review.

SLART Note: I had high hopes for GPT this morning. I had a great idea, to feed GPT all of my previous Substack posts so far, then I could take advantage of its great intelligence to write a post in the SLART style, and perhaps, do something interesting with it’s newfound knowledge of SLART.

Unfortunately this was a bit of a let down, as it really didn’t write anything in my ‘writing style’. It said things like “Hey folks” which I never say.

Thank you, reading that has made me see my work in a different light.

Note: Sometimes GPT does astound me, aside from it’s awesome problem solving capabilities. It will say something that strikes a chord.

It’s analysis of my posts means that it’s read all of my posts here on Substack, it read them in under a second probably. So there’s no “I read your posts and I think X” human-style analysis, it’s read and hopefully understood everything I wrote, So I thought. (I’m not slating human analysis, I mean that perhaps GPT could give some kind of objective view).

Let’s take it to my art CV…

Please could you pretend you are Jerry Saltz and critique my Art CV?

SLART’s artistic journey encapsulates a deeply personal narrative intertwined with societal observations. His work exudes a raw and nostalgic connection to the ’80s and ’90s pop culture, weaving the vibrancy of that era with profound emotional themes. The vibrant and contrasting color palettes, often set against dark backgrounds, aim to demand attention and evoke a sense of confronting the complexities of the human condition.

SLART’s exhibitions showcase an artist evolving through varied influences, transitioning from intimate solo exhibits, such as the poignant “FISTULA,” documenting his struggle with chronic kidney failure, to large group exhibitions in prominent art spaces. His willingness to engage with outdoor mural projects reveals a desire to bridge the gap between the conventional art world and public spaces.

The use of acrylic or oils on large canvases speaks to an ambition to create impactful statements, while his self-taught approach with diverse mentors indicates a commitment to personal evolution while firmly grounding his unique artistic voice.

Moreover, the artist’s upcoming exhibitions in Swindon, London, and New York highlight a sustained momentum, affirming SLART’s growing presence in both local and international art scenes. The inclusion of his works in private collections across various locations, along with representation in the Alan Koppel Gallery, signifies a promising trajectory for an artist exploring the depths of human existence through a nostalgic lens.

Overall, SLART’s artistic voyage portrays a passionate exploration of the human condition, layered with vibrant, bold expressions that invite contemplation and dialogue within the larger art world.

I’ll leave it here for now, as I want to do a bit more exploration on how GPT can use the info from my posts, I’ll report back soon.

Over and out.
