I think it's art. Bad art.
It's art because it is an expression of the individual in an established medium. "Established medium" is not essential here, it just removes the largest argument against some media being art, like a jar of urine with an object inside. I think it's bad art because it took no skill. It caters to the "art for art's sake" crowd that are impressed with themselves for being evolved enough to see "the beauty of simplicity".
If this is art, then the artist is the viewer, not the person that painted flat blue on a canvas.
