I was asked to write about a fictional artist that is the polar opposite of myself.

BC is a male artist currently working in Chicigo. He began his career in photography in 1952 and moved into painting some twenty years later. His early subject matter was high fashion. He strove to capture the glamor of Old Hollywood. He was there to witness “the decline of high culture” from the elegance of Grace Kelly to the vulgar Lady Gaga. Thus, his interest shifted to studying the degradation of "class" in society. BC’s frustration caused him to leave photography and California. He took up residences in Chicago were he focused on painting. His paintings depict the crude lifestyle that triumphed in the late twentieth century. He turns out paintings based on lude myspace photos and perzhilton.com at an alarming rate. But, he claims that it is not fast enough compared with the onslaught of visual rape that torment him on an hourly basis. Surprisingly, these paintings are what gained BC popularity as the younger generation saw them an celebration of their age. As a rebuttal, BC formed the facebook group “We See And Deplore The Decline of High Culture." BC was recently ousted from the group because of his popularity as a pop artist and because his paintings attempt to "flatten all distinctions between high and low" culture.
