What is Artsy Fartsy?
1.
used to describe either a person who does weird art for the sake of being artsy or the art that a person like that does. artsy fartsy is generally bad artwork that is made so weird and hard to understand, that people just assume it's genius.
"that artsy farsty girl just painted a canvas black. she thinks it represents her pain, but i think it's just artsy fartsy."

2.
Trying too hard to be artistic; an overly strong interest in appearing to be aesthetically aware.
From a lyrical marriage of the words "art" (creative or imaginative activity such as painting or poetry) and "fart" (expelling gas). The implication is that the art (or person) in question is no more than a glorified fart.
I don't like his paintings - they're a little bit too artsy fartsy.

A really nerdy piece of art. Usually liked by confused poetic girls in their 20's. May contain polka-dots and ramdomly arranged colors.
Look at that pair of artsy fartsy reading glasses!
The thick pink ones with black polka-dots?
Yeah, those!

An extremely stupid and dorky way to say that someone is artistic.
Hi, I make birdhouses! I'm artsy fartsy!
