This art bizarre!

Artist Millie Brown has mastered the art of regurgitation; she uses this skill to create art by drinking coloured milk and vomiting it out on white canvas. One of Millie’s artworks, Nexus Vomitus, created to an acoustic accompaniment of opera music reportedly sold for 2,400 dollars. She was also spotted at Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, where in a video interlude she vomits all over Gaga’s dress.
Millie belongs to a generation of artists who are not only redefining the popular notion of art but also transforming the process of its creation. While some may say that the said process is disturbing, the artists have no qualms about their creations.

The Hayward Gallery in London is currently exhibiting invisible art aptly titled ‘Unseen’. It is home to white walls and blank canvases that focus on the role that unseen and invisible elements play in creating art. A lot is left to the imagination of the viewer who spends his time glancing at a white canvas and wondering what the artist had in mind when she/he created it. Tom Friedman’s 1000 Hours of Staring is a blank canvas that the artist claims to have stared at for thousand hours while Bruno Jakob claims to have used ‘unseen colours’ on his paintings that are exhibited at this show.

Using a paint brush on canvas to create art is passé; artists today are using tyres, bamboo pens and straw among others as tools to paint. If you thought alcohol was only meant for cooking and drinking, then you are in for a surprise, artists today are using alcohol to create unusual patterns on paintings. The aluminum foil that resides in your kitchen is also adding an edgy sheen to paintings.

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder which rings true for these unusual paintings which are sold at an exorbitant price. Only time will tell whether or not such art finds its way to your living room.
