Hello from Bangkok, Thailand! I have always been, and hope to always remain, passionate about art.
Mostly visual art in the "fine art" and "Art World" sense, but also any and all creativity that channels the human spirit to create things (even just ideas) that never existed before in the world.
Yesterday I organized a group of 23 people to see a hotel art fair named Hotel Art Fair[0]. Some were art nerds like me, some rarely look at pictures with intent. The day before, I listened to a musician I like talk about the need to give to your creativity.[1]
Knowing that most people never engage with the world of visual arts, I wish to suggest that if you happened to read this comment, please consider taking a moment to go look at art. Online, or offline if you can. Any style, any medium. Artsy (no affiliation) is a decent starting point and most of the art there doesn't require any special knowledge to appreciate.[2]
The controversial German art-shaman Joseph Beuys[3] said Jeder Mensch ein Künstler, every human is an artist, and I agree. Find your creativity, it's out there looking for you!
I too am working my way deeper into visual arts. I’m excited to go see the Edward Hopper exhibit at the Whitney in NYC soon. His ability to light imaginary scenes is very impressive, I hope to learn a lot by seeing his paintings in person.
Do you have any favorite artists or works? And I see you paint as well from your bio, what sorts of things do you make?
I’m American and for me, Hopper captures a uniquely American way of seeing, as well as subject matter. I hope younger generations can see that too. Even if it’s a bleak view it holds important truths.
I have more favorites than I could list but just to name a few from older to newer and not just painters: Max Beckmann, Nam June Paik, Cecily Brown, Cannupa Hanska Luger. These are worth your time!
I am mostly a painter, thanks for asking, and mostly abstract with a lot of abstract-figurative. But I have done multimedia stuff and have a lot of plans.
Don’t want to self promote here but my email is my username at Mac dot com and my Insta is biztigram, always happy to talk about art stuff.
Enjoy the show, and when at the Whitney spend some time on the roof!
