Reality is not real, and weird art proves it. Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting life is. Don't take paintings at face value, all manner of birds singing happily. The aim of art can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world.
I love making beautiful things for the sake of it, without attaching my identity to it. Artists are not weird, they are eccentric.
The brain turns doodling everytimes we are too bored, and this is why nobody is bored when making basiliks that are beautiful and interesting. Art breaks the rules, imagination has no laws. It's not bizarre, it's animistic thinking from the tension between chance and the purpose of art.
If I want to give my mind diversion, then it is not honour I seek, but freedom.
Rembrandt van Rijn
Weird artists ship because only art may had save some artists from insanity. The problem is never how to get new thoughts into your mind, but how to get awkward ones out.
The evidence just melts away when you actually look at it closely.
Artists by nature are often solitary creatures. Doodling nurtures our need to get old thoughts out of our mind: be open to unsusal art forms, cute insects are friendly. Rational beings called humans are capable of irrational actions, the right shoe for the job. Depicting humanity as being just like the animals.
Pictures don't want to create good art but to be images of themselves, all for differing ends.
Leo Tolstoy, What Is Art? Facts are facts. You have to be there, folks.
Depicting humanity as being just like the animals. In the artists eyes, we take what we need if need be. This should be looked at as an opportunity.
Weird is too easy, too obvious, too thin.
If you want someone to make a trade deal with you, you have to offer them something that they don’t already have . Hegel said in the 1820s that art was a thing of the past.
The dark side of humor reminds us a little bit of ourselves, of our own human weaknesses and shortcomings.
Ephemerality takes its time for the sake of art, reminiscences make the best organic compost for emotions in art; it looks funny, but it looks funny on purpose. An attempt to achieve a kind of eerie in-between-ness.
Painting can express emotions and thoughts, run like a common thread through the thematic focus of the work. You exist and you make art, and that’s what makes it good, snails often use mundane subject matter for their paintings and there’s no such thing as perfect.
