Sohlberg and Banksy.
Tjapaltjarri and Close
This, I think, is the strongest round 2 subtournament flight yet. I feel like I could vote for any of them! I will definitely cast my first vote for Repin because "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan" is one of my favorite paintings. I think I'll also go with Sohlberg!
Too many good choices--so hard to choose. Well, I'm partial to Banksy, thanks to Morgan, and I think I'll vote for Kuksi as well.
Ely and Banksy
Definitely Clifford, and then it got tough. I'm going to go to Banksy based on the sheer numbers of pranks he's pulled off, the pictures above, and that he made a Stonehenge out of portable toilets.
Ilya Repin and Tim Ely!
kruksi and ely
Sohlberg and Banksy. (This was a lot easier before I realized this was a "vote for 2," not a "vote for 4" round.)
Repin for me, and Ely. Non-scoring shout-out to Sohlberg.
In a weird mood, so Kuksi and Ely.
Lots of good ones here. How about Banksy and Ely.
And with time running out on Flight 5, it's a tough break for #17 seed Chuck Close, who only got a single vote, the least of the seven artists. No one else got more than three votes, except for the two clear winners, who each attracted six of their twelve possible votes: Tim Ely and Banksy. They're heading to the Big Show! And Banksy, who comes quite early in the alphabet, will probably make his debut there in not so many weeks.
Only one Flight of the Play-In Tournament left... although there will be at least three aftershock Flights, as various ties and discrepancies get sorted out. The fun never stops, for the immediate future!
