I am bored with seeing paintings and installations of things that look like trash.
Who are some artists with interesting work that can be enjoyed just by themselves.
Turrell?

Hanging Fire (Suspected Arson) by Cornelia Parker (1999)
One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen...

Come on man, if you are on this forum, you know that art / design is subjective. The term 'boring' might be a bit much.

This is a something i found but I want to post it here and call it art. I hope you look at it in a deep and reflective manner. I hope it makes you question the rest of what you see today and hopefully gives a little inspiration too.

I know a 60 something year old woman who is a history teacher and really passionate about specific topics. She once got a call from a telemarketer trying to sell her art history books, she simply told the guy "I just don't like art much". I don't understand while everybody else feels a moral obligation to "appreciate" art. Her words will be forever in my heart.

Olafur Eliasson
Richard Mosse
his recent work he showed in the Venice Biennale is six screen video installation of footage he filmed with infrared film in a war zone in the Congo. It’s a controversial piece but that makes it even more worth to examine

Watch "Beauty is Embarrassing". Great film about Art and how you can approach it. Not everything has to hang in a gallery.
