Art has now become about making a statement, rather than developing your own statement about it. Instead, graffiti artists such as Shepard Fairey and Banksy have taken center stage. The classic artists who once were prevalent in our society no longer reign popular. These abstract ideas that are currently embedded in the art world are ones that make artwork difficult to relate to. They didn’t get lost in their abstract ideas. The classic artists didn’t seek to create a piece of work that was more individualistic, but rather they created work that was reflective of their perspectives and observations. Artists have become so focused on creating a piece that is unique, nothing like we’ve ever seen before, but by possessing this type of mindset, they become lost in the process thereby making their work ordinary. In Oscar Wilde’s “The Soul of a Man Under Socialism,” he wrote that, “Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” But the type of artwork that is present in modern society has taken this notion too literally. But when that piece of artwork isn’t rare-when it’s something that can be easily recreated-it loses a sense of authenticity and meaning. The beauty of art is that it’s subjective it allows you to develop your own meaning and connection. It’s no longer an enviable skill, but is an ability that everyone possesses-but that’s also dependent upon who you ask.
Instead of “Starry Night”, “Mona Lisa”, “The Girl With the Pearl Earring” and “Water Lilies,” art is based more on creating a statement rather than a reaction. An Art13 London fair worker poses for the photographers inside an art piece, a 12-meter installation created by Chinese abstract artist Zhu Jinshi, on Thursday, Feb.
