I don't understand this kind of art. I don't think it's art. The artist is most probably very talented and could likely do real art but choose to make this. Is it about the texture of the painting ? Maybe, it's bullshit stuff like "it's about how you feel when looking at it" ? Is this kind of art truly just a way for mega rich to launder money ?
I personally don't like this particular painting, but how a painting makes you feel is everything. It's like music or dance, it's a language to express emotion. Calling that "bullshit" is to defeat the entire purpose of art. While skill and accuracy are part of it, even a machine could appreciate that. The human part is emotion.
I like paintings like this. I think it's important to remember that art is subjective. Different people can look at the same thing and interpret it differently based on their different life experiences and all the various idiosyncrasies that make people unique. That's not a bad thing.
While I absolutely agree that art is subjective, I see nothing in this that can entice a dialogue about the piece meaning or the emotion it radiate. I saw paint splashes on a wall that were more interesting because of strong pareidolia effect they give off. Talking about pareidolia, I have yet to see an artist use this strong feeling in their art. Draw random lines until you see something in them.
I actually do it ( not an artist ) as a form of relaxation and de-stressing. Leaving my brain inner mechanism do the work for me. I highly suggest doing it when feeling stressed. You'll likely see a pattern in the drawings and it's gonna tell you something about yourself. Mine is that the right hand is a stump as if amputated and it's something i do really struggle with since birth due to a handicap.
I really like this explanation of modern art. Personally, I don't connect to this painting either, but I also have no context for it.
Edit: I do actually think this painting would be awesome to see IRL. Just look at all this texture.
I think it’s easy to forget that paintings have texture and it can change your experience of one when you see them in person!
The video is in a style I don't really like and I'd rather wished I read a lengthy article instead but I watched it fully and first things first, I don't hate modern art : collage, surrealism and cubism are my favorite art styles. Second, throughout the video he basically say " yeah , I don't like this painting either" and it's what I am saying too. I don't feel anything toward the piece and similar ones. I don't consider a blotch of paint art but it's personal and you may find a deep meaning in it. Maybe as you pointed out, these pieces are meant to be experienced in 3d and enjoy their texture and unless I see them in person I can't understand it but this remove the universal nature of art by being inaccessible. Hopefully, I am not talking nonsense. It's hard to find the right words since English is my third language.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I really like it
Yeah I do too. I just don't have enough time to think about it too appreciate it right now, so it's just funny. This sort of art needs so much attention to interact with, demanding your full mind to make something of it, at least for me.
