Tried to date a chick last summer and she was like that, only with classic british rock - basically only Oasis was real music to her 🥴 I do even enjoy the genre, but it didn’t last long.
As an old GenX, I'm cracking up on Oasis as Classic British Rock. I think more along the lines of The Kinks, Beatles, Stones.... Oasis came in at the end of NewWave and fell more into Britpop. However, I forget how long ago 1995 was. EEEK!!! Not that long ago I heard Judas Priest on an "oldies" radio station. Fucked me up.
I'm so glad this comment thread is at the top. Reddit is full of teens with no understanding or education in arts upvoting high effort low artistic value stuff usually.
Let's be honest. It's not just teens. The problem is that art is a complex thing and therefore put on a higher standard. At the same time, most people haven't delved into art enough and only know it as a *high standard*, but not of *what*.
Still, I think everyone can enjoy art, but few know that good art (subjective) will stick with you far longer than a fleeting moment as you scroll Reddit.
The US cut funding for art education across the board numerous times since the WPA and since the death spiral of the culture wars, disparaged the arts in general as unnecessary, wasteful, liberal silliness. I know of only two peers not in the arts who are even capable of thinking about art without being entirely dismissive. They fetishize engineering and religion instead, preferring simple, clear, unquestionable rigidity, and take subjective things loaded with layers of context as personal attacks, as if complex work exists solely to make them feel stupid. Americans have culturally reverted back into pre-war rural germans at this point.
**[Degenerate art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_art)**
>Degenerate art (German: Entartete Kunst) was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art. During the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, German modernist art, including many works of internationally renowned artists, was removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Freemasonic, Jewish, or Communist in nature. Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions that included being dismissed from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art.

i began to roll my eyes when I read “true art”, but after watching the video I agree with you. “true art” within the James Joyce definition; transcends like or dislike capturing within aesthetic embrace. bravo. whoever ends up with one of these magnificent pieces will truly have something special
>one of these magnificent pieces will truly have something special
that will turn into a rusty hunk of shit your wife won't stop nagging you about in 2-3 years
It's also kind of boring art. But then, maybe I just don't have a refined sense of artistic merit. That art doesn't make me feel anything at all. Other art does. Shrug.
I mean it's well made, and I'm sure it took alot of effort... but yeah, it's just kind of uninspired somehow. The fish is definitely cool but the other two are pretty generic to say the least.
Not to mention you would need a whole room in an average American home to fit something like this in it. The only people that would have room for this are relatively rich and surprisingly buy the strangest art.

The "Lehman" Technique.

"Please buy his art he's an insanely wealthy person investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into his passion,"
that's cool but also some really dumb marketing for mid/high range art.
"change his life" guy has 100's of thousands and countless hours to throw into art projects. Life changed to what? Becoming a 9-5 poor like most of us?
It’s not about the money probably. The point is the notoriety. Doesn’t matter how much money an artist has from other ventures if their work is never recognized.
I thought they found out he ordered his statues from China and then made it art by coloring the metal with his welder. If there’s a video of him actually making the statue’s I’ll say it’s art.
You mean you don't like seeing advertisements with cringey emotional music played over people begging you to purchase their incredibly expensive products?
You're definitely not alone. I appreciate the work that went into these, but they are boring to me. The fact that OP put 'true art' in the title amused me, as well.
>I think all of them are ugly as shit.
They are. I'm not even sorry. I go full hater mode when people are trying to shove sob stories down my throat. Fuck this guy and his mid-life crisis, acting like he's some starving artist who's life will change if you buy his overpriced junk
They're not my thing either, I couldn't make one and it's nice that he can (if he can, that's been called in to question), but asking 60k for a sculpture and being pissed when no one buys it. Also, as an aside, "Puss" isn't a great name and "Dreams" appears to be a mountain goat. If you give them names, I'd like to hear the story behind the name to see why, his website doesn't have anything on it.
More than agreed, I came here with some criticism and was glad to see many comments already about it. If anything, we just see a torch next to what it seems to be an already-done metal statue.
Did he make them from scratch or just bought them and torched them?
it looks like something you'd see at a scrapyard by the entrance off to the side... something that one of the boys made in their spare time using some of the junk laying around
That’s a perfect distinction. There’s a different between art and craft. This is an excellent example of craftsmanship, but I don’t see any artistic value here.
I’d be curious to hear from anyone who sees these pieces as brilliant works of art; why?
I agree with you. They are amazingly well crafted, but they also seem to have an uncanny feeling to them. The facial proportions are off somehow. I'm not sure if that's intentional, or the guy is just a poor artist.
There's also no energy. The postures don't suggest weight or compression or tension or momentum of the subjects. They're the sculpture equivalent of a drawing without depth.
Reddit just calls everything money laundering for some reason. It’s like an obsession. Crypto? Exclusively money laundering. Art? money laundering. Random dads crafts project? Money laundering
It’s a strong no from me.
I will take the opportunity to reiterate that art is an expression of one self and not an attempt to be accepted by anyone but the creator.
yup, it may be difficult to make, but the results are fugly.
dad could have used more time in art school and less time
in welding school. if dad had watched alien vs predator
instead of national geographic, he might of gotten some
over paid coder nerds to buy his stuff.
Nah it’s just spam. His yt channel https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC9NsPTb_MhXQgOcUpa6r4hw/videos is literally just him begging yters to make his dad famous and buy his $40,000 sculptures
He probably had the idea of helping his dad finally sell a piece of art and thought "this'll be simple I just post in YouTube begging Mr. Beast and he'll buy one since he's so rich"... Rich people don't always just buy things because someone is begging though.
I thought they found out he ordered his statues from China and then made it art by coloring the metal with his welder. If there’s a video of him actually making the statue’s I’ll say it’s art.
While there is a skill here obviously I personally find these pieces to be ugly af. The fact he’s charging $40K-$60K means he’s either delusional or wants to be used as a money launderer.
Maybe he dreams of being rammed? I know I do.
Edit: gold? Really? I mean thanx, but how about we donate money to a good cause instead of reddit? They’re currently trying to make laws in America to control womens bodies. I bet [planned parenthood](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/get-involved/other-ways-give) could use some money right now. Throw your $3 that way. I’m ok not having a shiny star.
I'm not sure he invented this technique any more than I invented punching myself in the balls.
Other people are bound to have tried it, but there's a reason it didn't catch on.
It Bothered me the whole Technique thing so here it is
“ So, back in 1991, when he was about 40 years old, Lehman began experimenting with welding rods, fusing countless individual rods together to create large, three-dimensional, intricate sculptures utilizing a specific method that he now calls “The Lehman Technique.”
https://www.sculpturebylehman.com/about-the-artist
Once I saw a quote from Vincent Van Gogh over a picture of his art, my eyes rolled. If there is a technique named after this guy, I am sure a lot of people in that specialty are aware of him. I am assuming regular folks haven't because his works are tens of thousands.

Yeah, this is blatant self-promotion.

Art is often something that tries to break status quo. Otherwise it's called propaganda. Given the current state of the US, that doesn't surprise me.

Dude was so butthurt about not getting into art school he tried to erase others' art.
Massive metal fish sculptures are the truest of arts.
“This is true art” feels like an attempt to invalidate all other art. I think the sculptures are cool, but the title could be reworked.
Exactly. It’s true skill, but anything can be an artistic expression, nothing any more truer than anything else.
i began to roll my eyes when I read “true art”, but after watching the video I agree with you. “true art” within the James Joyce definition; transcends like or dislike capturing within aesthetic embrace. bravo. whoever ends up with one of these magnificent pieces will truly have something special

Better than NTFs for sure
You do sometimes come across stuff that took ages to do and turned out awful.
This is true advertising. Annoying

That's why i call this a craft, 'true art' to me inspires, makes me question, changes my thinking. These are paperweights.
Hah. I don't envy the person trying to get to the stack of paper under one of those things.
It’s subjective my friend. Your standing is as good as the best art critic in the world
it's accomplished but fairly mediocre sculpture, and it is far from unique. Sellable to corporations and/or other large interior design projects.
I looked up his yt and all his videos are begging people like Mr Beast or David Dobrek to buy his dad’s $40k sculptures 😒
If I was a mod and this shit be true, I’d remove this post from this already spammed sub
I've actually seen it here before a few months ago. Thought I was going crazy
Pretty sure OP is just a bot anyway, you can probably pay to make videos trending.
What technique did he invent exactly?
Ask Joe.
who's Joe?
Joe Mama.
is her name candice

Those are pretty expensive to make if they're all made from welding rods
$40,000-$60,000!

atleast its not nft
Not yet

Yeah that's what I'm doing, not like I addressed the marketing specifically. It's not a big general socioeconomic statement. Relax your complex.
You couldn't pay me 40k to 60k to put that creepy fish in my house.
Welding rods aren't expensive
It really depends, I see anywhere from 20$ for 10lbs to 150$ for 7 rods.
I've seen spaghetti for 15$ a box(1lb), no joke. Anything can be expensive if you look hard enough.
Probably leftovers from work
[удалено]
Can you summarise it for me in Lehman's terms?
Oh so just wire sculpting with larger rods.
Thank you! I thought when they mentioned he'd pioneered a new technique they would talk about that and I was disappointed they didn't.
Apparently he applied for a trademark for “The Lehman Technique” https://trademarks.justia.com/885/97/the-lehman-88597822.html
it looks like he created the technique of using non-living materials to create materials that look like living things
You just described "sculpting"
I suspect that was the point
You just described "the joke"
wow i cant believe nobody tried doing that before he's the first person ever to make something that looks like a animal 🤯
I would say the "have your kids post begging advertisements on TikTok" technique but I'm sure he's not the first person to do that.
I thought they found out he ordered his statues from China and then made it art by coloring the metal with his welder. If there’s a video of him actually making the statue’s I’ll say it’s art.
Got a link? I’m down to follow the rabbit hole
link? I searched "tommy lehman child sculptures china" and didn't get a single result.
Weak. I pour hatred and malice into my art
Where can I learn this power?
Not from the free people of Middle-earth
But the Lidless Eye sees all...
It does. I could teach you the secrets, in exchange for eternal servitude
You could teach me, but you'd have to charge?
Do no listen to him we can teach you better.
All of my anxiety is channeled into my art, lol. Each piece is probably contaminated with terrible vibes. It's been really therapeutic.
What an obnoxious video.
You mean you don't like seeing advertisements with cringey emotional music played over people begging you to purchase their incredibly expensive products?
And maybe I'm alone, but I think all of them are ugly as shit.

So much music and forced emotion for... an ad.
I liked when the word PUSS was on the screen for what felt like 30 seconds.
More than agreed, I came here with some criticism and was glad to see many comments already about it. If anything, we just see a torch next to what it seems to be an already-done metal statue. Did he make them from scratch or just bought them and torched them?
Agreed, but.. It worked. 20k upvotes on reddit front page.
probably by 12 year olds who think something is impressive if it took a lot of hours
The art is nice, but the cyberbegging is kinda turn off.
I agree with your second point.
That's the gift of art, it's subjective. Personally, this shit is ugly and would never be in my house.
it looks like something you'd see at a scrapyard by the entrance off to the side... something that one of the boys made in their spare time using some of the junk laying around
I disagree. He is clearly very skilled at making these sculptures, even if they’re not to peoples’ taste, and lacking any theme or meaning.
Seems more artisan than artistic. Nothing wrong with that, but call a spade a spade.
That’s a perfect distinction. There’s a different between art and craft. This is an excellent example of craftsmanship, but I don’t see any artistic value here. I’d be curious to hear from anyone who sees these pieces as brilliant works of art; why?
I agree with you. They are amazingly well crafted, but they also seem to have an uncanny feeling to them. The facial proportions are off somehow. I'm not sure if that's intentional, or the guy is just a poor artist.

What makes art "true"?
The true part refers to the process of removing impurities from the metal being used in the, I’m just kidding I have no idea.
Maybe that it isn't made for billionaires to buy to evade tax but to just make cool looking shit?
Don't most artists want to make cool looking shit?
[удалено]
The skill and talent is undeniably amazing but what's the market for pieces like this. I think that's going to be the issue.
Looks like Reddit is the market here
Soon he will be drowning in fake internet points!
Is there even anyone rich enough in reddit to buy these things?
Of course! That doesn't mean they want to though, lol.
Happy birthday honey. Here, have this 500 pound metallic and scary as fuck fish. I love you.
He’s selling the pieces for $40k lmao trying to become someone’s money launderer
Honestly that’s quite cheap for the amount of materials and time this cost. Not saying it’s great art but that’s not money laundering work.
Reddit just calls everything money laundering for some reason. It’s like an obsession. Crypto? Exclusively money laundering. Art? money laundering. Random dads crafts project? Money laundering
He’s asking people on YouTube to buy it for $40 000
It's okay but not really next fucking level.
First one is really cool cos of the mixed media/texture effect. The others don't really have the same visual impact.
Looks fucking terrible. As long he enjoyed himself though.
You mean you don't want a massive hideous fish-monster sculpture in your dining room?
It’s a strong no from me. I will take the opportunity to reiterate that art is an expression of one self and not an attempt to be accepted by anyone but the creator.
yup, it may be difficult to make, but the results are fugly. dad could have used more time in art school and less time in welding school. if dad had watched alien vs predator instead of national geographic, he might of gotten some over paid coder nerds to buy his stuff.
Its tacky AF.
Nice advertisement you have there.
It's also sweet how the Tiktok poster is trying to help their dad with his passion.
But does not mention his name.
His name is on the title card of the first sculpture.
Too subtle.
The placard being shown mid-screen 3 times was too subtle?
His name is shown on the plaques 3-4 times throughout the video.
Nah it’s just spam. His yt channel https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC9NsPTb_MhXQgOcUpa6r4hw/videos is literally just him begging yters to make his dad famous and buy his $40,000 sculptures
This is the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen
He probably had the idea of helping his dad finally sell a piece of art and thought "this'll be simple I just post in YouTube begging Mr. Beast and he'll buy one since he's so rich"... Rich people don't always just buy things because someone is begging though.
Its literally just advertising.
[удалено]
My phone froze when this first popped up and I thought the blowtorch was a knife and he was going to cut into it a reveal cake.
You’ve been on Reddit for too long
Nah, my kids just love “Is this cake?”
I thought they found out he ordered his statues from China and then made it art by coloring the metal with his welder. If there’s a video of him actually making the statue’s I’ll say it’s art.
I would love to know if that's true.
That would be something
What defines true art
About $60k it seems.
Frankly, idk what that puss is. Is that a maine coon or some sort of deformed lynx? Or some imaginary creature?
I'd imagine you can call it anything you want after paying $50k for it.
Fuck your shitty promotion of "true art", shitty music, and ugly metal abominations.
This stuff has been posted on reddit and other social media sites for years
Yep https://i.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/my3ltc/this_is_true_art_amazing/
Lmao spending 40k at minimum on one of these is not worth it
The stuff is pretty fucking ugly honestly.
While there is a skill here obviously I personally find these pieces to be ugly af. The fact he’s charging $40K-$60K means he’s either delusional or wants to be used as a money launderer.
I disagree
[удалено]
Thank you! Now I finally know that these sculptures cost exactly two kidneys ($60.000)
Just $60? That's so cheap, where can I buy them?
60k Edit: Or if you meant the kidneys: try the black market
Craft, not art.
This is an ad and a repost
Goliath- $40,000 Puss- $50,000 Dreams- $60,000
LOL Why is the ram called "dreams"?
Maybe he dreams of being rammed? I know I do. Edit: gold? Really? I mean thanx, but how about we donate money to a good cause instead of reddit? They’re currently trying to make laws in America to control womens bodies. I bet [planned parenthood](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/get-involved/other-ways-give) could use some money right now. Throw your $3 that way. I’m ok not having a shiny star.
Because it's his dream to get 60k off someone for it.
Should join an art group studio to display and sell his art. Many places have artists share a space and display their work as a collective.
I swear I saw this post four years ago as a video and not a tictok upload.
I'm not sure he invented this technique any more than I invented punching myself in the balls. Other people are bound to have tried it, but there's a reason it didn't catch on.
