Being an artist(my girlfriend calls me a "frustrating" artist, rather than a "frustrated" artist; a term of affection...I hope) and an Atheist, I haven't a traditional picture of God...or any picture at all. Perhaps I just never considered God in terms that I can relate to. So, here is my effort to try. Which of the following artists most closely approaches the ideal of God:
Andy Warhol(Completely unapproachable, except through his work)
Yoko Ono(Complicated performance artist---I actually like and respect her, and have met her!)
Robert Mapplethorpe(Photographer of both the light, and very dark, side of life)
Piet Mondrian(Plasticist; think of "The Partridge Family" bus)
Otto Dix(Able to construct a very personal hell for everyone)
Alastair(Art Nouveau at its most sinister; also a devout Catholic)
What do you think?

Piet Mondrian. For sure.
I think Dali could do as well.

God is an artist, just take a look at the earth around you. No one can paint colors like he does. None of those artists you mentioned can ever compare to the beauty he creates every day.

I'm a poet and I see His Handiwork everywhwere but which artist is closest ?
When you remember that each rainbow is different,will be until the end of time,and has been since Noah , that each snowflake is different,will be until the end of time, and has been since the beginning of time, that each sunset is different,will be until the end of the time , and has been since the beginning of time, that each sunrise is different,will be until the end of time, and has been since the beginning of time, and then there is universe,which I can't begin to describe because it is so vast as well as all His Handiwork here on Earth ?
I can't think of one artist that comes close to the ideal of God - not even Thomas Kincade.

probably closest to robert mapplethorpe because the common religious view of god deals in absolutism.
light and dark = heaven and hell = good and evil

Yoko I think. Yeah, Yoko, I really hate Yoko. Dead john Lennon, dead Jesus, see, I'm already drawing parallels.
