art after all lies in the beauty of the beholder
you will either love it or hate it
and that mostly fuels the modern art scene
but it's all expressionist art
some having more feathers than the rest
some little more crazy than the other
some with rather neat designs
including porcelain vases
shaped glass pieces

it gets more whacked up here
closeup of the detail
including bones of a spine
teeth and spent bullet casings
made mainly out of guns parts
This is an interesting piece
but that's modern art per se
and the occasional blot of paint!
idolisations
and items,
pieces done using non-traditional media
arts of the streets
many of the main galleries feature modern art
blending modern and traditional art together
