For some reason, at some point, modern artists started taking an interest in basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles, stuff like that. Whether it was to have more in common with kindergartners or just to do something new might never be known, but one thing is for sure: it's not interesting, and it's not art.
This particular piece (the artist responsible, I do not know) shows two circles on opposite ends of a solidly painted canvas. They are different colors.
That's as far into it as you can go I guess. I will say it looks like the kind of surface I've played miniature golf on, but something tells me that's not what I'm supposed to be getting out of this.
Many very famous artists did this kind of work, maybe we'll take a look at some other examples later, but it's all really the same; Just a few basic shapes and colors. The return to simplicity philosophy that surely inspired it is misused; when considering modern art paintings, a return to simplicity would be great, but I would go more in the direction of having simple images that actually portray something that can mean something to my life.

I think there is also the cliche "redefining art" motive going on behind stuff like this. I mean, that's always in the background of modern art, so maybe it's not worth mentioning, but you don't get to just declare things redefined. You don't get to keep expanding definitions to fit your expanding lunacy. Some of us liked what art was, especially when shown its new replacement.
I really don't know what artists are thinking about when they make this kind of stuff. You want to assume they are just led astray by society or something, but it's hard not to consider them purposeful frauds at some level. You have the ability to reject the standard nonsense of the times and make something that's actually art, you can't just claim ignorance forever.
Good thing I am here to help rid the world of this waste of time "art", we have to start calling people on this stuff or else it will never end.
