I couldn't agree more with the post... this overwhelming, it is actually so saturated that I feel forced NOT to look at it and not go back. Whatever the artist is trying to say is far too complex and way to "in your face" to make me even care. Yes, the worst thing an artist can do... It is too much!

So much art is easily dismissed, one glance and you have deciphered the piece. I give kudos to any work that holds my attention, makes me explore the nooks and crannies, even if my initial response to the piece is negative, I don't like the color, it's too crowded, I am innately disgusted by clowns, let alone a drunk one, if that piece still has me studying the angles, the composition, the story within, I think it has succeeded in an important artistic elemental goal, it is, at the very least, discussion worthy.
