Art Contemporary And Your Friends

Are you just being nice when you tell a friend that his or her artwork looks good? And are your friends just humoring you when they tell you that your work is cool?

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 paints for hours on end as I tried to etch my massive imagination onto a 20″ x 32″ blank canvas, and then I’d end up three hours later with a regurgitated mess heap on paper. It was funny. How do I come to that conclusion? Because my friends used to walk into my dorm room and fall over themselves laughing and on the brink of tears! Please don’t get me wrong, I have some brilliant friends, but I’m just not that good at it. I’ve never aspired to be the next art contemporary genius. I’ve since had to channel my talents in other directions. But remember that it’s a telltale sign that a work of art is not up-to-par if it gets laughed at at first sight!

A long pause can also say it all. If more than two seconds pass between someone seeing an art contemporary piece and commenting, then the artwork in question probably doesn’t give the audience much to talk about.

Art contemporary is for everybody, and any form of self-expression in the current day is art contemporary, but some things just don’t make the grade on levels set out by anybody. Don’t worry, my art was like that! It’s important to remember that an artist shouldn’t set out to please anybody with his or her work if it is true art contemporary, because it is all about what is inside the artist and nobody else knows that.
