Sometimes people forget that art can be more than one thing at the same time. Across all mediums, a single piece of art can be both pretentious and poignant, silly and special, fake-deep and complex. The best art contains a multitude of layers, and challenges us to think abstractly to reconcile those differences on our terms. Shia LaBeouf seems to understand this better than most young artists working today, and his oft-derided performance art is proof. Over the last decade and a half, we’ve watched Shia evolve from precocious Disney kid (Even Stevens), to a bonafide blockbuster leading man (the Transformers franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) to art house purveyor (Nymphomaniac Vol. 1 & 2). He’s a star for a reason. He possesses a magnetizing presence—go see American Honey in case you forgot—and an emotional intelligence that only heightens the authenticity of his performances. His talent justified his celebrity.
