Ugly art, just like ugly architecture, reflecting an ugly society.

I wonder if on some level it isn't meant to induce rather than reflect.

It looks like it's sucking itself off, which is actually quite fitting.

"Did you know MLK had one of his ribs removed?"

I don't think it's bad conceptually, but it's disgusting. It's like broken output from StableDiffusion. Art shouldn't give the viewer weird inhuman vibes unless that's intentional. I appreciate creativity, but someone trying to create something of historical significance for the public should have looked at their plaster model and gone back to the drawing board.

Well that's a given. Sadly most of us expect nothing but that from any American city these days.

It's like some Silent Hill monster. I don't think a statue in honor of someone should give me the creeps this hard.

Mmm, yes. Nothing better to honor someone in statue than depicting disembodied arms apparently hugging.
Modern art is a mistake.

The fuck??

And why are they still pretending to align with MLK Jr? They preach the exact opposite. (Rhetorical question, obviously)

Because they know they can't openly shit on him without waking too many people up, as he still has that baseline acceptance across the board.

So instead they just siphon off his respect by standing next to him in conversation.

from a different angle it looks like an ass being groped or held back by some guy trying to prevent the ass from sitting down.

This is a masterful troll by the "artist".

Well done.

Could be a lot worse. It at least what is depicted is depicted with detail and realism.

Yeah, I was going to say that at least on a technical level, it seems alright. It's just an aesthetic monstrosity.

It is technically good, but aesthetically questionable. I feel sorry for the metal-caster who had to produce it, as they clearly are good at their work, but had to create this (because face it, if they said no, they'd get crucified).

I guess metal is better than stone for the leftists, because they can melt down the metal for new statues when they realize MLK-Jr used gamer words.

why couldn't they just make a statue of the man like a normal person would?

Near as I can tell, he's on his knees, with his hands around his waist, and his head all the way up his own ass. And he's wearing a faggy ankle bracelet.

A statue of a man and a woman hugging, but just the arms.

I know this looks bad, but look at this from literally any other angle and it looks even worse. This is worse than that bust of the soccer player where his face got smushed .

Public sculptures are money laundry/embezzlement operations and you won't convince me otherwise. This is as nightmare inducing as the Lucy one a few years back.

I thought they said MLK Jr was a racist. Why are they building monuments to him?

Thank God I am not insane and someone else saw the goatse in this. What were they thinking?! Well, I know what they were thinking: modern art is there to demoralise.
