  • People tend to claim that, but I disagree … once you try your hand at action painting or other styles of abstract expressionism, you’ll notice that it by no means “easy” … sure, it’s not the same thing as painting like Bob Ross or the painters of the olden days, but to create a lively, polyfocal surface that’s not just a gray, nondescript mess, is a skill of it’s own.

    It’s not random noise (and I’d say if you think it is you need to train your senses better) … if you’ve actually seen a Pollock “in the canvas”, there’s so many tiny little structures and details to discover, there’s typically a balance of colors, structures, and densities. Fairly complex paintings, phenomenologically speaking.
