You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think a painting is more like the real world if it's made out the real world.
One of the most difficult things for any artist to do is create a world that looks both completely alien yet real and possible.
The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it... try to fake three laughs in an hour - ha ha ha ha ha - they'll take you away, man. You can't.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
The narrative oftentimes is that everything that comes out of the hood is 'real,' and so I thought, 'I'll base it on the absurd, the not real. I'll twist the idea of real on its head and see if I can get away with it. I'll make paintings that come not from a place but through an abstract gaze.'
To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.
If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.
But I found that being an artist and doing accurate work is very difficult.
Art is difficult.
You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.
