"Nymphs" painting removed.

Are folk being outraged at folk being outraged?

No wonder Sonia Boyce wanted the painting taking down. It was obviously painted by a fine artist. Sonia Boyce on the other hand ....

think there is a bit of jealously going on myself ;-)

I have concuded it is a publicity stunt for the gallery.

If it wasn’t a piece of pre-raphaelite shite I’d be outraged.

If you read whats behind it rather than jumping to conclusions you may get a better understanding of what is behind the decision - its not about being clever its about challenging peoples views and perceptions

I have read it. I read it before I posted and I stand by my comments. It's a stupid attempt to create a discussion
It's the wrong subject. It's too easy to say why not cover up the boobs and dicks on Michael Angelo's sculptures. Person who did this needs an education or if they had one their money back.

at a time when walk on girls and grid girls are being axed when the media and Hollywood are convulsed over gender pay and women's roles when there are concerns over on line grooming of kids and so on and so on I think its a topic that is current and worthy of starting a discussion about - this is somewhere which has started and there are more discussions to be had. Rather than people go off on one a rational consent can be reached via dialogue.

I suggest you think about the vehicle here. I personally agree with the issues around the the perception of females in society. But to use art as the discussion is bloody stupid. There are thousands of more obvious targets. This was a crass project and the initiators are now trying to justify their decision as are their supporters like yourself.

maybe more obvious mediums are scared to be the vehicle because they are fearful of a backlash - can't imagine why after the measured responses to this so far
