We're a depraved civilization. All this technology, all the computer games and the iPhones... nobody will sit for art anymore. What a dismaying state of humanity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We don't know what the next generation of art is going to look like. We're kind of making it up as we go along. Not unlike the tech industry.
People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.
Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that's irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.
What we want from art is whatever is missing from the lives we are already living and making. Something is always missing, and so art-making is endless.
I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times.
I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent.
