GAH my parents love him. I never saw his work before and I came home after hearing all this praise about him, "He's a master of light blah blah yuppy talk blah blah" expecting to see masterpieces.
I've tried to tell them that his work sucks.
"Listen, I know you're yuppies and you live in a country club and you're only doing this because the other yuppies are all doing this, but please don't spend $5,000 on one of his paintings. I'm begging you as your daughter and as an artist. Think of the children."
Do they listen? Of course not. You can't really hold it against them though since they're yuppies. One of the rules of the country club is that you have to do what everyone else is doing or else take away your golf cart privileges. There was an X-Files episode that sort of covered it well, when Mulder and Scully went undercover in a cult-o-sack or however you spell it.
