Is there any contemporary art you consider divinely inspired?

I think about this all the time. For me, the answer is no, across all mediums, and I chalk it up to diluted DNA a la Multiplicity. Everything great that can be accomplished by -organic humans- has already been done.

In a comedic aside, my mom and I once walked into a Jeff Koons exhibit circa 2015 whereby he had hired out other painters to copy Renaissance masterpieces and then adhered a solid blue gazing ball to the front in some sort of elementary school philosophical attempt to be deep.

I've rewatched this half a dozen times, at least. Jaw-dropping.

One of the most truthful piece of art I've encountered in my life.
Some of the scenes are so vivid that it burned into my mind. Truly magical.

I find all kinds of art divinely inspired. Man's creations, although imperfect but it's about how it makes you feel. A piece of music, literature, architecture sometimes makes you want to bow down to it's creator in reverence. That's what divinity makes us feel.

Beautifully expressed. I feel this as well—everything in existence is divine creation; man's expressions as well, however antithetical to that they may seem at times.
