Untitled by James Kuhn [Artwork Review]

James Kuhn’s Digital Print named Untitled was found in the classy downtown Spokane Art Show, Terrain 5. As I walked around the displays throughout the building, piece caught my eye for a few reasons. This first is that I am very passionate about designing with computer graphics, so naturally, I could relate to the print. What I think makes this piece of art work very well is the use of lines that create a focal point that draws your eye down to the pink zeros in the lower half. There is also a good use of contrasting colors that equally draws your attention to the subject. However the print didn't really capture my interest until I read the artist’s explanation of his work. His description reads:

“these few works explore mark making and use of materials in both digital and traditional mediums. I enjoy the ease of access technology has granted contemporary society and how it has further blurred the line between low brow and high brow art.”

I think this is a really cool idea of how technology has made art more accessible, allowing the artist to have an easier time with the form and be able to spend more time on the conceptual side of art. So I would ask, would you say that the blurring between high and low brow art is a positive thing or a negative thing?
