Josh is Modern Art!

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 02:33 AM

"I don't get modern art" but I get this!

Nate Lowman and Dan Colen, showed their newest works at New York's Maccarone Gallery last night, with the show entitled 'Closing Down Sale' running through to April 26th. According to Dejour, much of the works are already sold, but of course its worth checking out.

Oh my golly gosh! now thats the sort of art l could have standing in the corner of my bedroom, and never get bored with!!
What a GREAT find Kate, thanks for sharing xx

PS I had a life size carboard cut out of David Beckham once. Lived in my house for about a year. Before my husband put it in the loft! It was great though, depending on the time of the year, l'd dress him up. (Like at christmas or halloween)

hey that´s cool, but I have the feeling they didn´t copy Josh´s body perfectly. I miss the happy trail (the whole one, this is a bit too thin) and he doesn´t have man boobs

and the belly? does he have such a belly? can´t remember ever having seen him like that

but still funny work

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 06:46 AM

I love it... Josh is so bohemian!
You don't think that's actually Josh? That he didn't pose for the artists?

aloha · 04-21-2008, 06:57 AM

don´t know if he did, it looks more like a thing they put together, but still I don´t think he has such a belly from all topless pics I´ve seen and also nop man boobs, that boob look like..... don´t know, way too big

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 07:00 AM

I think it's him and I don't see that as man boobs and a belly, just shadows where he has definition.
Why would the artists not use his body? And those look like his shoulders to me.

aloha · 04-21-2008, 07:18 AM

well compared to those it´s at least not that big

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 07:41 AM

How about the Flaunt pics?

aloha · 04-21-2008, 07:43 AM

yeah I found them but they are just his chest, but also not that big.
but well it´s just funny someone created him.
btw, what kind of material is that he made him of?

I still don't think that's true but I could be wrong... anyone else think that's not Josh?

aloha · 04-21-2008, 08:53 AM

what do you mean? I meant someone created him like someone made art of him, not that it´s not Josh although I still think it looks a bit different from the real Josh. he has pecs, but this breast really looks not male.
I mean seriously, you don´t think that looks weird somehow? it doesn´t look natural to me

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 09:29 AM

Oh ok no I don't think he looks weird and I don't see why it wouldn't be Josh. He knows the artists, so it seems natural that he would pose for them.

This was a fun thing, it made me smile but I feel like you just dragged it down.

aloha · 04-21-2008, 10:47 AM

yeah it is funny, it´s not that I doubt it´s josh or a picture of him, just this one boob looks so strange. just so female, and on the other side there is nothing, that´s why it looks so weird

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 10:50 AM

It's called lighting.... it causes shadows.

I love his legs.

aloha · 04-21-2008, 10:58 AM

it still looks weird though LOL

but wow yeah his legs are awesome
btw, Josh is not yet at Madame Tussaud, is he?

and I also still wonder of what kind of material this guy made Josh

**Jocasta** · 04-21-2008, 11:19 AM

It looks flat, like cardboard but in real boots but I have no idea.

aloha · 04-21-2008, 11:23 AM

oh great, I almost thought the same, of some cardboard or something

annieHARTNETT · 04-21-2008, 11:30 AM

i didnt notice it before. but yea the man boob looks weird... but then again it could be lighting as Kate said or something the artist did..
