Art for All?
Posted by: Administrator Post date: July 6th, 2009I wonder sometimes whether my art should be kept hidden, tucked away for no one to see except myself. but then i think how stupid!!! art is MADE to be SEEN! just cos i dont paint white lillies and pink butterflies doesnt mean that art should be unseen. in fact, we need more confronting artists in this world. Artists who arent afraid to voice their opinion, share their experiences, show their passions… I admire tracey emin so much, shes been such an inspiration to me, to make my work and tell my experiences through my art and not be afraid to be judged for it. some people love my work. some people hate it- but you know what… i really dont care anymore. Its none of my business what other people think of me lol! so why care so much. I am made to have a voice. I have been given the gift of creativity and visual arts to express and explore myself, to put forward my beliefs and experiences in a way which others cant, to produce eye catching pieces of work that go against what society says and accepts. yes, i love the arts and the voice it has. it screams so loudly to people that it cant be ignored! art is for all. its in your face, whether u want it to be or not. art is everywhere, there is no escaping it- the only thing u can do is choose to ignore an artwork and what it speaks about. people need to free up their minds and allow art to move in and take residence, let it dwell and speak to our souls on a level that goes beyond what we understand. art for all? i think so. its just a pity that so many people have closed themselves off from it.
