Darlings, last-minute holiday preparations are keeping us from providing entertainment to our minions, so expect posting to be sporadic until Monday. Anyway. To its credit, Work of Art doesn’t really trade in over-the-top reality show melodrama. Sure, an artist cries almost every...

Okay, it’s not as grandiose as sending Project Runway contestants to Paris (remember those glamorous days, darlings?) but it was fun getting the artists out of the city for awhile. And it made for a somewhat charming backdrop for the challenge, finding a portrait subject and rendering...

Well, the veil was ripped off for this one, wasn’t it? What was the thinking here? “Let’s devise the most crass, artistically offensive challenge we can come up with!” Yeah, that was about how we felt, too.   It doesn’t bother us that selling was a major...

Darlings, let’s get our ART on!   Your typical product placement/unconventional material challenge. So typical, in fact, that they once did the exact same thing on Project Runway. Did anyone in this group make the equivalent of a gorgeous coat woven out of seatbelts? Not really....

A reasonably fun episode with a reasonably fun challenge, yielding some good-to-questionable results and revealing which of the artists is the biggest bitch. We’d say that’s a win all around. This show does a damn good job of staging its challenges and using the city around them...

The pool is getting smaller each week, which makes these secondary Work of Art posts seem a little extraneous, but never let it be said that we don’t have opinions about every single thing that passes in front of our eyes.   Sara J. We’re not sure if the meaning of her piece...

So Simon wakes up our little group of ragtag sensitive souls with an entirely too exuberant “WAKEY WAKEY!” at 5 am.We love that man, but even he would be assaulted for doing that to us. This is why we’re not ever trying out for a reality competition. Also because bitchy...

Despite the presence of children – which usually signals a disruption of the proceedings in a reality competition, this was a pretty great episode. The artists all got along fairly well with their kids and the kids themselves had produced some pretty impressive art on their own. Plus,...

All right, kittens. Let’s run down the remaining artists. You know, the ones the judges had nothing to say about.   Bayeté Not seeing how this is Pop Art at all. If he wants to make points about race in  his art, we’re all for it, but so far, his points are obtuse and/or...

Y’know, they couldn’t have made things any easier for these airheads. This was a “high school art class” level of introduction to Pop Art. So why… … after they were literally walked right up to the definition and most famous example of Pop Art, did these...

Look, we stared at these pieces for a long time. We stroked our chins and furrowed our brows while we searched our inner thesaurus to come up with new and provocative ways of saying “This sucks.” Because you know what? Most of this stuff sucks. If the judges couldn’t be...

Boy, did the wheels come off the bus rather quickly this season or what? We realize that the thought processes of artists – especially in the throes of creativity – can seem obtuse and bizarre to outsiders, but we sat through this entire episode saying...

Hey, remember that show Work of Art? Turns out, we still have a ton of pieces to talk about. You know, the ones the judges didn’t want to talk about. Hit it, artsy types:   Dusty A technically very strong piece but one without a lot of aesthetic value, as far as we’re...

It’s BACK, darlings! And y’know? We kind of missed it. We didn’t even realized we liked it all that much until this episode got underway and we found ourselves all caught up in the proceedings. Since we’ve pretty much reached the end of our rope when it comes to the...

Darlings, are you all set for the premiere of “Work of Art” on Bravo at 9/8c tonight? Well fear not. T Lo is here once again to give you the rundown on this year’s collection of attention whores and sensitive types. Make your predictions now: who’s going to be the...
