Tracey Emin Art

Posts Tagged ‘painting’

I mean an artist like Tracey Emin or Damien Hurst are richer and some are more famous than a fine artist who use traditional media. All contemporary artists do is recycle found things, alter them or install them as they are and then call it art while painters, printmakers, sculptors and artist who do drawings spend a lot of money on art materials to produce their work which is the kind of art regular people would like to buy. No one would want to buy an installation seen in gallery exhibitions for their home or work place – we want to buy a painting, a hand made print, a drawing, a sculpture don’t we?

www.winkball.com Art much like beauty is often said to be in the eye of the beholder. It has almost unlimited interpretational value and whether it appeals to the viewers particular taste or not it is almost certain that an individual investigation into the truth behind the piece will transpire. That truth however lies with the creator and is woven into the experiences that shape their life and the love that conceived and consequently brought it into the world.
