# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=funk-art+lowbrow
# Funk Art carries the structure. Lowbrow (Pop Surrealism) appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Funk Art (Style, 1960s–1970s) and its accent from Lowbrow (Pop Surrealism) (Style, 1979–). Structural cues: Garish glaze colours; Bodily, off-colour motifs; Craft materials deliberately misused; Finishes that keep their handmade roughness. Accent cues, used sparingly: Pop-culture iconography; Precise classical technique; Uneasy humor; Street-born heraldry. Composition: One lumpen object shot frontally, filling the frame, with nothing composed around it. Type and lettering: Hand-pushed uneven lettering, left slumped and never cleanly typeset. Let one material quality come from the second style: Oil gloss and smooth gradation, brushwork sanded away. Mood: Play, Rebellion, Exhilaration, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Funk Art: Aiming only at vulgarity and making it rough removes the base, which is the knowing misuse of craft materials, and the result reads as merely careless.
# - Lowbrow (Pop Surrealism): Picking creepy subject matter while skipping the rendering craft turns the work into doodling that only wants to shock.
