Supine Takes a Dip in Central Park

Photo by Kevin Walsh/Wooster Collective

Street artist Judith Supine installed this piece in Central Park yesterday, telling Wooster Collective, "I sank in the mud up to my waist." Two years ago a Supine creation briefly hung off the Manhattan Bridge over the East River. Perhaps a Superfund-themed Supine will visit the Gowanus?

There is nothing worse than an artist with a strategy.

I like a lot of Judith Supine's work, but I'm less than a fan of this one.

Supine takes on the Donald. If you recognize the location, you'll realize that the kid is flashing Trump's ice rink / summer kiddie park. What will be the Donald's response?

This looks like bad photoshopping.

If it isn't photoshopping, then it's just...

When I was 15 I would have thought this was great.

Eh, not too bad, but gotta lose the green fixation.

Composition could be better, but the sunrise reflected light (caught the still water & reflection & CP bridge for location ID) is a nice touch. Would have gone with a lighter contrasting shade (yellow, maybe), different season with bare trees, sunset with a UV light forelighting for an even more surreal look.

Would give a little more oomph & feeling to the work.

Try the Lake with a Bow Bridge/Dakota backdrop instead of the southward view of the Pond. But heck, what do I know, I've got a real job.

The city should ban attention whoring street artists.

Why a child's face? I am sure the pedophiles would like this "art".

Is this a joke? I don't get it. Who is Judith Supine?

Now what would be the right words to describe this? Oh, yeah. "It sucks."

If Judith Supine goes into the Gowanus, he better wear four layers of protective gear because the Gowanus will EAT through the first three.
