In the recent past I've been highly critical of how DA art has morphed in various ridiculous directions. But certain strange features are really interesting.
Firstly, there is an emphasis on decoration. Most of the images are of women, and they wear ornaments to an almost obscene degree. Their clothes are also elaborate, and sometimes fantastic.
Secondly, there is a tendency for shoulder straps to be missing entire sections! I can understand clothing having 'peek-a-boo' sections cut out. But you can't do that with straps.
Thirdly, women are depicted with enormous quantities of hair; even portraits of well-known celebrities are depicted with huge amounts of hair.
Fourthly, celebrities are depicted anonymously, with out- of-character clothing and styles. For instance, an image of someone who is almost unmistakably Greta Thunberg has been shown almost as a sex object. This makes absolutely no sense. The same with Emma Watson.
Finally, most of the girls and women are beginning to look the same, or maybe the girls and women that I'm being shown look the same, which makes me feel a bit paranoid.
Hope all this is a temporary effect.
