Your Friends And Art Contemporary
When you tell your artist friends that their artwork is good, are you just being polite? Similarly, if your friends tell you your artwork is actually really cool, are they just being nice?
It’s about psychology. Take it from me; an awful artist whose friends used to feed me rubbish constantly after I painted another self-portrait that looked like a sun-dried tomato, the answer is in the initial reaction. It’s the way it’s said.
I used to struggle with charcoal for hours on end whilst trying to etch my imagination onto a 36″ x 48″ blank canvas and end up with a hilarious final product. Why was it hilarious? Because my friends used to walk into my dorm room and fall over themselves in rip-roaring fits of uncontrollable laughter! Don’t get me wrong, I had and have some great friends, and I have never aspired to be the next art contemporary hero because, quite simply, I’ve never been any good at it. I had to channel talents in other directions, to put it bluntly. But it’s always a telltale sign that a work of art is not the best if it gets laughed hysterically at upon first sight!
A long pause can also say it all, just as obviously as laughter. If it takes someone more than two seconds to comment on an art contemporary piece then the artwork in question probably stinks. I apologize, but whether it’s yours or your friends, feelings are going to get shot down!
Art contemporary is ideal for everybody, and any form of self-expression in the modern day is art contemporary, but some things just won’t make the grade on any levels set out by anyone. However, having said that, I think that it’s important to remember that an artist shouldn’t set out to please anybody when creating something new. If it is true art contemporary, then it has to come from inside the artist. Don’t you think?
