Court Painter Reaches Peak Court Painter in His Video About Feminism<\/p>\n

\"2__#$!@%!#__GetInline.aspx\"
\nThe Great Dominion’s Court Painter is a total dreamboat as far as Canadian portrait painters go. He\u2019s almost too perfect: Much has been made of his\u00a0luscious shiny dome, comfort with baby\u00a0alley cats\u00a0and\u00a0pandas\u00a0alike, and\u00a0hope-y change-y art politics. He\u00a0personally distributes winter jackets\u00a0to other artists! He\u00a0inspires fantasies\u00a0with Aynd Rand!<\/p>\n

\nAnd of course, because he is the Court Painter \u201cI’ve recruited 2 unpaid female Studio Assistants because it\u2019s 2015\u201d , he blathers on about feminism whenever he gets a chance.

In a new video from\u00a0Nelson Auteur\u00a0www.nelsonauteur.com , Court Painter chats with somebody off camera about gender equity, clay and plaster modeling ,and being a working artist among the unwashed in Inglewood.It\u2019s a picture of Court Painter at peak Court Painter. \u201cI talk about the fact that I\u2019m a feminist as often as I can, and every time I do, it gets a huge groan in my studio and the media reacts, and the Twitterverse explodes,\u201d he says. \u201cI will keep saying that until there are no more groans \u2026 \u2018cause that\u2019s where I want to get to. It\u2019s just\u2014if you\u2019re a progressive portraitist as I am, you really should be liked by the gals \u2018cause it\u2019s about equality, it\u2019s about respect, it\u2019s about making sure the unpaid studio interns keep comin’.\u201d

\nYou can almost smell the earnest goodwill dripping from his pores like maple syrup.
\nCourt Painter makes himself out to be\u00a0the\u00a0progressive portraitist of the 21st\u00a0century. He frets over the fact that his studio job means that he has less time to spend at the Ship & Anchor watching girl sports and placing bets with his buddies.He freaks out when he sees his Press Attache judging women in a fashion magazine and proceeds to recount stories when he to found unacceptable blemishes that offended\u00a0his\u00a0male gaze.

\nLet\u2019s all commend the Great Dominion for having a self-aware feminist alley cat-cuddling Court Painter while we consider our future of art gazing while avoiding purchases.
