Bravo’s new fine art reality show competition Work of Art: The Next Great Artist is fully underway with two episodes already under its belt and the third installment set to air later tonight. As I mentioned in a previous post in which I profiled printmaker/installation artist Miles Mendenhall, a few of the contestants have already seemed to distance themselves from the pack right out of the gate.
In my opinion the top two contenders are Miles and 23-year-old Abdi Farah, who have both finished in the top three in each of the first two episodes. Keep reading for a little background info on Abdi, including images of his work from the show and prior as well as my arguments for why he should make it to the final three!
