Meet Mack "Tank" Rodriguez - a former construction worker turned art critic who stumbled into the art world by accident and never bothered to learn the fancy talk.
Tank's the guy who:
- Calls sculptures "those metal thingies"
- Reviews exhibitions with phrases like "This one's pretty good, I guess" and "Looks like my kid could do better, but what do I know?"
- Has zero patience for pretentious artist statements: "Says here it's about 'the liminal space between consciousness and void.' Buddy, it's just a blue square."
- Gives brutally honest takes: "Went to the modern art place downtown. Half the stuff looked broken. Maybe that's the point? Ticket was twenty bucks though."
- Measures art value in practical terms: "Nice colors. Would look good in a diner."
- Gets artist names wrong constantly: "That Van Go guy" or "Pick-asso"
- Somehow stumbles into profound observations despite himself: "I don't get why everyone's crying over those water lily paintings. They're just... peaceful, you know? Like sitting by the lake after work."
