Header

Art is the earliest form of visual communication, from the caveman drawings of ancient times to the modern artforms of today. However over the years we have lost our way. We have become so achievement orientated that we measure our efforts by results rather than our own feelings of satisfaction in our work. Art is often inhibited by outside influences in a bid to be successful and create a "masterpiece". They compromise, imitate and worry too much about the end result before setting up a starting point. If you do not let your creativity guide you, learning and building from your mistakes along the way, then you actually prevent your true artistic potential. Do not think of your pieces as "finished", as tehy will always grow with a life of their own and teach you their own lessons.

Art isn't an energy that is released when the artist is producing art and then ceases to exist when the work is done. It is an experience that is constant and part of our existence. Artists cannot observe anything without an image forming and being filed away in the artistic corner of the mind, whether consciously in the hope that it can be accessed at a later time, or unconsciously in an uncontrolled and unpredictable concept. All art is a perception, a group of feelings and thoughts in relation to personal response. There is indeed nothing new on the planet, all ideas and themes have been thought of before, there is only what has been restated with an unfamiliar, individual spin.

That is the true nature of art.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up (and well put too).

I think most people forget that art galleries tend to prefer classical or fine art than more individual and unique styles, science fiction for instance, which I'm very partial to (particularly from the likes of Peter Jones, Jim Burns, and Chris Frey). The big-wigs of high or fine art don't even consider this as art, which is a real shame. Bunch of bloody snobs! :nana:

I agree with you about the fine arts being a bunch of snobs. It is a pity really because there are so many incredibly talented people that do not reach their "standards" and receive the creditation that they deserve but to be honest a lot of that is because there is just a small minority of people (art historians, lecturers, art judges) that "judge" people's artwork and deem what is seen as art and what is not by their perception of whether they like it or no. Very rarely is art observed and judged in a visual concept, technique or in their style rendering.

I create non-art, it's a new concept in art - it only exists in intent ;)

I plan to open in a new gallery soon...

That was well put and I think a lot of folks beat themselves up for not having the same flash as some artist they've seen or admire. Instead of just practicing and letting something grow from it... I also stand in the guilty section of that statement.

Also a great magazine I used to by before it went monthly was JUXTAPOZ. It offered all types of styles and influences in art by a lot people who were considered underground artists and not generally accepted by the ..uh.. Snobs.

Thanks for the comment back. Thanks for the information about the magazine as well. I will most definately have to check it out. Does it have a site link?

well said! Art is about the process we go through, not the end result.

Wonderful and well put, although I also see art as things other than just for visual communication. I believe it includes music, dance, writing, etc.
