It's nice to see solar sands talking about things he's passionate about.

[SawtoothWaves]

and i was about to congratulate you for not making a drip joke.. XD

[lunagotdippedinsauce]

its weird to think that solar sands used to roast weird deviantart drawings and is now exploring different forms of artwork

[alexwhitney]

"I am nature" is a pretty badass way to respond to anything.

"Not a single one sold"

Man, that really bums me out. That must have been hard to take.

[yanislahtal]

When the painting doesn't have drip :(

[halguy]

neither a genius nor a fraud. just an artist who liked to experiment with how he conveys emotions

[TheElitedeath]

I never really hated Pollock, but I do hate the art world/art gallery culture. They seem to like to push this whole elitist idea that anyone who doesn't get any sort of emotional response from looking at extremely abstract paintings to be like unrefined peasantry. Of course alienating people like this is only making them more and more irrelevant. When others say that people like Pollock are killing art, the only thing being killed is the art world. And personally I think that's a good thing. Art is certainly not dying, art is everywhere, just no longer in exclusive galleries for exclusive audiences. There's never been a better time for art, seeing as it's democratized and easily spread across the world via the internet.

Finally someone who doesn’t just take a position concerning Pollock’s art. He doesn’t say that he hates or likes it but explains it the way it is. Art is to be interpreted but I also like to hear a uninterpreted an objective view on art every once in a while.

[Commenter]

His work can be defined as bold and brash

[ponynator]

This actually made me respect Jackson Pollock way more as an artist

[anentiresleeveoforeos]

It's really fucked up that artists are so often reduced to just a few years of their life. I'm guilty of it of doing it, most people are, and it's a bullshit perspective to take. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into his work and life.

I visit the MoMA sometimes, and I admit observing these paintings irl feels a lot more evocative and intimate in a conflicting way.

[geostorm]

This guy's taught me more about artists than my art class ever did not gonna lie.

[meeky.]

Here before he deletes the video and reuploads it later because he forgot to fix something

[rileyglover]

Wow. I actually developed a appreciation for Pollock for "The Deep." It's such a simple idea done with a hauntingly sharp execution. I don't know why it's not held as a masterpiece for the almost existential qualities it has (well, for me it does).
Great video as usual Solar.

[logical_harm]

Solar Sands is the only YouTube I ALWAYS click on immediatley

[UntitledKirk]

It's simple: I see a Solar Sands video pop up, I instaclick that shit.

[pointlessgarbage]

Woah his early paintings are actually super up my alley, absolutely amazing. Goes to follow with his brother’s early work. As it goes more abstract it is also amazing however later on the pieces become too... just eh to me

[truths]

to be honest, drip or not, i really like his work. theyre fun to look at
