Who is the artist?

@basil it’s AI. You can read up about (and I really can’t bring myself to say artist without using bitchy inverted commas) the creator if you search for ClownVamp. The idea was to insert some queer history into impressionism (though you can easily find traces of homoeroticism, see Caillebotte). I actually like the idea and think something genuinely artistic could have come of it in the right hands. I’d have way more respect if the images had been painted, even if they would be considered a bit pastiche. I’ll stop myself there. As an artist I have a lot of opinions on this subject 😋

@justben thanks for that! Agreed, lots more respect if it was actually painted.
