What do you think of the new look of artreview.com

Hi Nick Yes the site is much easier to navigate and neater but the text of all my personal information went black today and as the background is also black the result is less than satisfactory. I ...

What do you think of the new look of artreview.com

Thanks for your prompt response. Yes I see it too but that's not what I asked for. In THEME I clicked on the Dark Slate Template with lime green and red text options and I've got the very white Art...

What do you think of the new look of artreview.com

Thanks for the update, Nick. Sadly, I still don't "have full control over profile appearance". As I said the other day, I go to THEME, I personalize it. In the thumbnail it all looks good. I press ...

What do you think of the new look of artreview.com

Ha! ha! ha! Patricia, you'll note that MY Imaginary Friends are black and red and have nothing to do with this repugnantly white site. They are screaming for colour! Can't you hear them? My THEME...

Good point Marty. But if Venerable= old - then thanks for reminding me! One good thing about the new site is that it's both less ageist and less sexist - in that I'm not obliged to flaunt my age a...

Alex Yes - I've noticed that. Things are fixed, a function appears and then it disappears again. And I think it's good that we say what is not working so they know what to fix. But if you backtrac...

Dare I say it, Sean - ''life imitates art'' - is this not some grand ether-eal ''Deconstruction''??? Knowingly or not, with or without malice aforethought, Artreview.com have deconstructed our drea...

What do you think of the new look of artreview.com

Nick - I go to THEME, I personalize it. In the thumbnail it looks good. I press "SAVE" and it goes back to the repugnantly white default. What's not happening? Please advise.

I am...: Mike Hinc. Hello!. As a painter, I work in diverse media. My subject is the ambivalence of experience – terror and wonderment in a human heart. My aesthetic is that of the humble postcard. My work, scribbled messages both platitudinous and profound, snatched from the frontline of the prosaic – “Weather still changeable, wish you were here”. Irony is key in an oeuvre which explores the interface between raw, felt experience and a mediated world of shrink-wrapped ideas and bite-sized epistemologies.

About my artwork: I have worked most of my life in the music industry with artists including Jonathan Richman, Morrissey, The Smiths, Nico, Primal Scream, The Birthday Party, and The Sisters of Mercy. As such, I am not unfamiliar with the cult of celebrity and its commodification. As an artist, I celebrate transience, inadequacy and the contradictions of a commodified world. If collage is the lingua franca of post modernism, it is also my Franglais. In a world without answers, my work neither seeks completion nor finds resolution. This is a contemporary collage where you can still “see the joins” and it is essential that you do so. That is where the art is. You are invited into a landscape, where juxtaposed images combine to form alluring, imaginary worlds, which you may enter at your peril.

Artists I like: Would probably best wish I didn't name them.....Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio,
William Hogarth, Claude Lorrain, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Edvard Munch, Paul Cezanne, Chaim Soutine, Pablo Picasso, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Yves Klein, Josef Beuys, RB Kitaj, Sigmar Polke, Francesco Clemente, Enrico Baj, JM Basquiat, Sean Hillen, Julian Schnabel, Don Van Vliet, John Baldessari, Jake & Dino Chapman, Sandy Skoglund, Jeff Wall

Interests: People, places, poetry, paint and pixels

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: www.mikehinc.com

At 3:15pm on 4th December 2008, elizabeth featherstone hoff said…: Your page did slowly come alive as I went to comment. It is crazy and amazing and creepy, what can be done with all of this free floating stuff. I find the images from my web site are constantly being downloaded, sometimes the whole site, even though i have copyright protection. ARRRGH! I hope this all gets fixed SOON! elizabeth

At 2:37pm on 4th December 2008, elizabeth featherstone hoff said…: wow I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole! I can't upload, I am unable to respond to some messages, and now the pathways I was sent in order to respond no longer exist, along with the messages themselves, I might add. At least I know I got them because they are stored in my personal e-mail! elizabeth

At 7:23am on 4th December 2008, THE GEWGAWSIAN said…: my apologies for the misunderstanding, I was unaware you were referring to my message on artreviews comment wall. The orange text is still there, cannot seem to change that, yours looks more like red to my eye. There is still a bug in themes, i did have an image where the mottled rainbow colours now are on my page, but found it impossible to change the text from black to white so that it could be read, so had to opt for that lighter background for now.

At 1:53am on 4th December 2008, elizabeth featherstone hoff said…: wow now your recent messages to me are off my page and, I think, being stored elsewhere. anyway will try as you suggest. thanks. elizabeth
