#Concrete genie guide free#
This is a game about art, but the most idealized, big-tent, Bob Ross version of the idea-an art that everyone can and should make and enjoy, free of judgment or critique. A lemming, too.Īll that is to say I found Concrete Genie, the new PlayStation 4 exclusive from Pixelopus, refreshingly naive in its approach to art. Mostly, I suspect, I’m blindly following the lead of some art world gatekeeper I’ve never even heard of. I’m sure I could dredge up some Barthes or something from my college days, but I’m not sure I really feel any of that. I can’t explain how Damien Hirst can bedazzle a skull or put a shark in formaldehyde and make millions while brilliant figurative painters are stuck exchanging their work for Reddit karma. I can’t tell you why Andy Warhol was a genius for creating images designed to be reproduced in bulk but Thomas Kinkade was a hack for doing the same. What I mean is that I don’t really grasp the underlying philosophy of the art world. I don’t just mean that I draw or paint on the level of a fourth grader-though that’s certainly true.
When it comes to the visual arts, I’m an idiot.
